As Christmas draws near do you remember nostalgically all those cricket fans of the days past?

Yes,the good with the bad.We had some great users here then Rehman didn't we?

Hi Rehman Bhai

Yes,I miss those old days where we used to have great Cricketing discussion,some amazing Questions and friendly banter and the debates that never gets out of hand.Its sad that some of the great users are missing from this forum.Especially when it comes to new year and Christmas time its always special because there used to be so many good boxing day performances with respect to Cricket in monht of december :).

There used to be a lot of fun,friendship between users of different countries even the trolling Q's used to be fun but its missing now due to overdose of spammer or troll Q's,I've personally seen some very good users joined here recently but the atmosphere hasnt been like before.Yearning for those old days back.

I remember a recent Boxing Day Test Match between England and Australia, in 2010. The Aussies were bundled out for 98 and England ended up something like 160-0 at stumps on the first day.

But to answer more fully It's sad when you look at the leader boards of the different countries here and see that most of those accounts are still active but they are no longer used because the trolls have driven these fans away so yes, I will spare a thought for some of them like MBIOF.

I am an ex Christian but I am still thankful for many things. Like the smaller things in life like my granddaughters [I've no grandson yet] . I like the season and when I do not have to go out I like watching the snow come down so softly and so lovely. I love and always did and always will love the little things in life. religion never took that away from me. I got the radio on and they are playing a variety of Xmas music . Thank God for giving us the rhythm to move to music.

There were times that it was all good fun here Rehman. Seems a distant memory now.

Can easily say 'those were the days', because they were.

Yes I do. I have watched so many awesome players over the last 30 yrs.
