LMAOO. What kind of accusation is this ? Why do people care whether this is even true or not ? Let it be a lie. I still ain't showing my stats.
Do u realize that all of us know each other in real.life?whats there for you to hide?u arent some star cricketer on a fake name.
SW calls himself a leg spinning allrounder but has not said anything about his bowling stats, wonder why?
Plus he plays in Canada , I've heard standards are pretty poor there.

That doesn't necessarily mean I'm good. You can "learn" inside out of your "craft"and show it off on the internet and look all cool. But what matter is when you go out there and are able to land the ball where you want to while applying variations that must come with different grips. If professional cricketers can't land 6 out of 6 deliveries on the spot, while practicing several hours a day, 5-6 days a week, do you really think I'm going to be able to do that while practicing 2 hours a week for twice a week ?

It's not about whether you are good or not but your refusal to give stats which is strange.

Well duh, if you are comparing it to UK. The grounds are also inconsistent. The matches are played across various municipals and they are maintained by those municipals. The Toronto municipals where most grounds are located it self is running in deficit, so their grounds crap. Apart from one private ground (Toronto cricket and skating club), no other ground has actual turf in Toronto. Meanwhile bordering Mississauga municipal has lower division teams playing in actual turfs. Cricket Canada itself has sets of 4 grounds like 30KM north of Toronto and their pitch is worse because CC doesn't make much money. You can literally only score singles and boundaries. It is not easy to go by stats, because you might get lucky and get the high scoring ground with nice outfield as your "home ground". So you might feast off that while someone else might not be too lucky. Apart from like 20-30 guys in the entire Super 9 division, no one is getting paid. Everyone works somewhere or are students. Most guys after 25, starts losing hope, realize they have to support themselves and start losing concentration with cricket.
As usual lot of blah, blah, blah from SW when he is cornered LOL

not just that, even playing standards are poor. a super 9 players could probably fit in to my division if they come over here.
