Not by design Bruce - pure accident - if I hadn't missed out on the Ayrtek gloves there would have been more colour.
Giving the youth size pads and gloves a go this season with Pod Black gloves and Ayrtek pads.

Oh dear I seem to be struggling a bit here. I can not quite figure out how to insert the pictures directly into the post, tried tag IMG nothing happens, only seems I can insert a URL.

Also is it really necessary to validate every post you make with a daft Captcha and answer a general cricketing question, I can see this will really annoy the hell out of me, or does this stupid and pointless idea disappear after a certain amount of posts???

Scratch that I am already annoyed beyond belief, answered some of the daft question, which were correct but computer say NO.

Examples:

Which company, founded in 1885, makes Cricket Bats in Nottingham? (Answer using full words). which if i am not mistaken is Gunn & Moore
Who is Australia's  Vice captain, I answered Brad Haddin, nope then tried Steven Smith again computer say NO

@Stumper nice kit mate.

If you stay on this forum too long you'll have twice as much gear in 3 months time!

Gray nics seems to be very popular atm!

Thanks RT, but not so sure i will be around on this forum for 3 months if i keep being asked to answer stupid questions after every post or edit. It is one thing to get these stupid questions but another when you answer a question correctly and the computer says NO

Only lasts a few posts if I remember correctly
I couldn't work it out either

The stupid validation questions I get and have to answer before submitting a post. Like now I have to answer these tedious questions and this is my second attempt  trying answer you.

I can't even read the top bit, and it's Taylor, right? The Little Master is James Taylor...

@Stumper yess the validation questions are a pain in the (No Swearing Please) but they stop when you get over 50 posts I think

[Chalkie]

Stumper i had similar problems, but it isnt on all posts for me now - for example i didnt have to do it here.

When it says full words it means 'and' rather than '&'

Also try just the surname for the vice captain.

The one i always have problems with is the weight of the ball - never seem to get that in the right format.

Its worth persisting - this forum is great but a serious threat to the bank balance due to kit envy.

@WalkingWicket37 nope mate, Tendulkar. Well the good news is that the annoying question and answer rubbish has gone :-), dunno if it is normal after 3 posts or something to do with the mail i sent to one of the admins?. I am pretty sure this forum must have lost a load of active members due to that totally rubbish idea.

Now I just need to figure out how to insert pictures directly into the posts, tried the IMG tag but nowt happens, unless i am somehow doing it wrong?
