The cricket report this week is the worst one yet and its high time that the editor used some control to get some facts back into the reports.
Some players may take offence and consider retirement .

The management of Swannanoa Cricket website have taken the time to consider your complaint and would like to pass on our sincerest apologies. The reporter concerned has been suspended without pay for two weeks and will only be able to return to full duties after satisfactorily completing a competency assesment. We value all feedback as positive and constructive in the quest for continual embetterment on this spiritual journey we partake-in together.

However management would like to take this time to draw your attention to the disclaimer on our website.
DISCLAIMER
"Website management have tried some of the things contained in these pages, and still live. However your experience may vary. Swannanoa Cricket Club (SCC) do not take any responsibility for any dammed stupid thing you may do to yourself, and present this information solely for entertainment purposes.
By entering the website, you are agreeing that SCC owe you no duty of care or any other duty. SCC promise you nothing. SCC do not and will not even try to keep the website safe for any purpose. The website is not safe for any purpose. This is no joke.

SCC cannot be held responsible for wear and tear on the eyesight, spousal neglect or loss of productivity at work. SCC will not accept responsibility for bathrooms flooded, doors left open, meetings missed, children left waiting at the school gate, dishes left festering in the sink and crumbs found nestling between the bed sheets. Nor can SCC be held accountable for the sexual frustration of non-understanding spouses forced to rely upon the comfort of strangers. SCC will accept no blame for pallid complexions, spreading buttocks, shoulders dislocated by heavy cricket bags, or the deterioration of once-magnificent physiques due to lack of physical exercise.

We regret that SCC cannot be held liable for prize-winning gardens gone to seed, or for ruinously expensive cricket gear left ineffectually unused or used. SCC is not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss of social skills, or for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss of interest in social events resulting directly, indirectly, incidentally or consequentially in protracted or irremediable spinster/bachelor hood.

SCC won't try to warn you about any dangerous or hazardous condition, whether we know about it or not. If SCC do decide to warn you about something, that doesn't mean SCC will try to warn you about anything else. If SCC do make an effort to fix an unsafe condition, SCC may not try to correct any others, and SCC may make matters worse! SCC and our members, reporters or agents may do things that are unwise and dangerous. Our employees, agents, and guests... may be stupid, reckless, mentally ill, criminally insane, drunk, using illegal drugs and/or armed...SCC aren't necessarily going to do anything about it. SCC may give you bad advice. Don't listen to us.

In short, ENTER AND USE THE website AT YOUR OWN RISK. And have fun!"
