    From Gerrit 't Hart@24:150/2 to rec.sport.cricket on Sat Oct 10 12:37:15 2020
    What has happened to this group? Is there a replacement group somewhere
    where you all are discussing cricket?
    I have been stuck in Canada due to Covid for 7 months and have just
    returned to Australia only to find this group is devoid of posts. It is
    not as though there has been no cricket news around the globe.
    So where do we all gather for "discussions?"

    Things might pickup now that the Shield has started. Qld on top of the
    table as I type. And The Boys have slipped right back into last seasons
    form. Clean out the top order for nothing (7/141), then let the tail add
    100+ (250ao). Sigh. Also being traditional are 'The Potentials' from the
    West. All of their top 4 getting a start, but having a HS of 65. WA 5/260
    with Lloyd Pope taking all 5 of 'em. (21/0/94/5). Hope he's done a few with
    his wrong'un.

    Clearly they were stung by my criticism...

    It got overrun by posts by somebody who genuinely seemed need psychiatric help a year or so back
    which meant any actual cricket posts got lost

    Is there a replacement group somewhere

    The main usenet group where discussion is still going on is uk.sport.cricket, most of what's in rec.sport.cricket is a crosspost (and normally not overly cricket related)

    I have been stuck in Canada due to Covid for 7 months and have just
    returned to Australia only to find this group is devoid of posts. It is
    not as though there has been no cricket news around the globe.

    With the new season starting it's probably worth trying to get this group started again.
