Hey Noddy.... (Im trying to deflect attention from the CB thing...), your "cricket is a game that does not rely on team cohesion" statement I have serious problems with!!
I can tell you every failure my cricket team ever had was as a result of lack of team cohesion, and every success was the result of team cohesion!!
Cricket is a game of partnerships - bowler + bowler vs a batsman , batsman + batsman vs a bowler...not to mention the most important people on the field...the 10 fielders. Be in no doubt of that!
You are only as good as "the bloke at the other end. Another way of thinking about it, is that you are only as good as the bloke in control of the ball, at whatever point in the game that it is whether that be batsman, bowler or fielder. Much the same in footy in that regard.
And, ....well....there's not a team sport that doesnt rely on team cohesion ...."only as strong as you weakest link " sort of stuff.
And, ...well....thats what this week at Freo is about. Getting our values sorted out, getting our players "minds on the job", getting everyone pulling in the same direction....and THATS what we should all applaud.
Well done Freo heirachy for taking action, "nipping something in the bud!". A bouquet to you all for once!
Now lets go onwards and upwards, and I am absolutely positive C. Blakely will be a BIG part of that.....
