Haven't even voted on the others - been too busy. Watch how Tassie will stuff up the run-chase! — Aaroncrick  (talk )   09:51, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * They won!  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 05:43, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah :) tried hard to loose, though - actually both teams did. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   08:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, when I can be bothered finding the book locations and so forth. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   04:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you see the women's ODI on telly yesterday??  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:03, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not until the last over of the match as I was playing cricket. Saw most of the mens match though. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   06:09, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The fielding was very good. The death overs bowling is actually better than India's. Perry was 120kph and the yorkers were accurate. Conceded 1 run off the 19th over. Slater kept on giving Healy stick about his niece dropping Aimee Watkins first ball of the match from Perry; Watkins made about 44 from 30 odd after that, the catch went straight to her navel. Did another round today with NSW and SA. There are a lot of very fast young bowlers around.

 * Can't stand the TV commentators and I never want to see another ODI or T20 again, lol. Maybe that's got to do with my waning interest in Wikipedia. I really can't be bothered writing on here anymore or even going on for that matter. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   23:16, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hello Bln. There has been an on-going discussion on Talk:Bollywood as to whether we should add Urdu scripts to Hindi film articles or not. I strongly opposed to this, while another user named Anupam has supported this. At some point, I started suspecting that Anupam is secretly cavassing other editors as many unrelated editors who had previously not even been on Wikipedia for a long time started appearing. And it was perfectly verified when I found out this message on Anupam's talk page. Now, funnily enough, I find Anupam accusing me of canvassing. He cited this message I sent to you a few weeks ago saying that I tried to canvass you. It was both ironic and insulting that someone is trying to shirk his guilt by accusing others. I would want to know what you think of his acts and of the state of this discussion and his accusing me. Shahid •  Talk 2 me  21:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fed up of public service and this could take donkeys years to resolve and all those photos I still have to cut up and copyediting FAC and tending to FAR..... :(  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's no longer relevant. What do you mean by public service? What FACs are you working on? Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  21:11, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Admin work, meidating, checkuser all that. The FAC is Ian Meckiff and the photos are right abouve you  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  01:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Cricket
You pulling out of the FAC? Good match last night; the NZ commentators are horrible! WI lost despite 6 Zimbabwe batsmen getting ducks and 1 on zero not out! — Aaroncrick  (talk )   05:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No I'll keep on looking, although the second oppose doesn't give any examples. I thought it was better than most of my other FACs actually, but there you go. Brian knows a lot about cricket. The most odd thing about the NZ commentators is that they all sound the same, I didn't notice much difference after they rotated them. Clarke is the worst player in the First XI and shouldn't be there. Hodge is better than him and M Hussey as well (why is he dropped?). Or maybe talk Hayden into coming back only for T20s as the WC is always after IPL. Did you see the news snippet where Tait gave the batsman the finger after dismissing him?  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Or are you going to cover Ponting's List A. I noticed there isn't any List A stuff at all in there until the Aus A games. And you could plunder the oracle for more stats as there are only three medium/small paragraphs for his three FC seasons before debut. People might say that 3 seasons of FC/LA/Aus A isn't covered well enough considering that the junior years' not being very skinny. It might make it a bit dull on the other hand I guess, but whatever your choice it will onyl take about 2 hours maximum to write some more. Tasmania won; seems like scoreboarrd pressure and winnings the toss is so important nowadays in big finals especialyl with the attacks nowadays  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I saw Tait give the finger live, although the commentators didn't see it. There was a lot of chirp beforehand and Ingram got out playing a  shocking shot - I think he was scared of the ball. He backed away from the two others as well. Yeah, Victoria have lost 4 ODD in a row and we've won 3 outta the last 5! :) Nice century to Paine. — Aaroncrick   (talk )   06:0., 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Did the umpires or match-referee notice? Any index-fingers to the pavilion get sanctioned nowadays, even if it is playful rather than aggressive.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * yeah, they had a chat to clarke. Ground was too small, White was shanking them for six. That's probably how Astle and some Asian players score so many runs. As much as I like Tendulkar I do think that his runs in India are excentuated by the flat pitches, fast outfields and small ground. In his 200 Tendulkar just had to hit it 5 metres away from 3rd man and it was four. Hodge on the other hand, slammed it a couple of times past point - 20 metres + away from the fielder and it was just one or two. And that was on the quickest MCG outfield for years. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   06:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The bats as well, probably more I think. At teh Gabba last yr v NZ, a NZ paceman bowled an attempted yorker that landed a bit short and was maybe three inches off the ground and Ferguson went to tee off and it was about 25% off centre on the inside edge and off the toe of the bat and somehow beat long on for 4. And even hitting the ball 25% to the left/right of centre you can get it about 50 metres nowadays over mid-off mid-on whereas 15 years ago it would be caught, or any top-edged pull can go for six nowadays. Or even in the tsunami match Kumble beat Ponting in flight about three times in a row in the later overs but he just stumbled forwards and hacked it over midwicket for hattrick anyway. And then they make the grounds smaller by 15m sometimes. Not much for the bowlers. Many of SRT's old century's would have been better than this one, because if he mishit any lofted shots, they could have been caught. The 99WC match where Dravid/Gangu made 380 against SL probably would be 450+ with these modern bats. As for records generally, almost if not all were on very flat pitches, bad bowling, dropped catches etc, even the Hutton 364 was on a flat pitch and got dropped a couple of times, and the record probably won't last 5 years, India have made 4 or 5 380+ scores in the last 14 months and the bats just get better and better.

 * Yeah I will cover List A stuff, don't know why it wasn't in the book? Graham oppsed and said the prose were better on the main article, lol. Even though this one has been through a PR and GAN. Sometimes too many editors can give their two cents worth, I suppose. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   21:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like Aus 200 will be struggling for Anzac Day  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  00:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

oh no, lol. — Aaroncrick  (talk )   06:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

History of the ACT
In January you asked me if i'd look at the pre-European contact section of this. a couple of weeks ago i tracked down a book. then a few days ago i improved the text based on the book and another source... but improved Canberra and History of Canberra by mistake, forgetting it was History of the Australian Capital Territory you had actually mentioned! I copied my (small) contribution across. I hope it's a help. Not very active right now, but feel free to ping me with similar requests. Regards, hamiltonstone (talk) 00:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Zahid Fazal : cricket-related BLP with negative unsourced statements
If you have time, could you possibly take a look at the Zahid Fazal article? It looks problematic, because it's a BLP that seems to contain several unsourced negative statements about Fazal's playing. Thanks,CordeliaNaismith (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I see they have been removed. Thanks,CordeliaNaismith (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I removed it, couldn't find any source for it.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  19:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
