I thought I was the only one who noticed this. @NaviN GandhI you don't have to post in 3rd-person POV everytime. It feels weird even though it is supposed to be "in character"

It is suppose to be like a post match interview with the captain. Anyway I will stop it...

Not like I can force someone to do something. It was just a suggestion

I noticed and saw something he wanted to do as character work and enjoyed it.

Nopes . Don't . It feels good when I see people with writeups . Because I can never do . The words sentences etc. don't come up in my mind ...

I enjoy it too but don't think every little comment needs to be put in the form of a statement or anything. Like I said, just a suggestion

I like doing interviews have done for some leagues, even started in this but not able to do it now due to work load. So I don't know when I started it, I made Faas character talk when posting line ups and it became a habit. I thought it will be better that just saying "well played".. just using him to justify the team changes, or to reply for others comments.

If he is announcing lineups or commenting on matches that's good, official business is okay too imo.

Please do continue; from a league runner's POV, it is mildly infuriating when a manager simply thanks the match post, doesn't even leave a comment, and says "same" or "unchanged" when asked for a lineup. Seeing someone put in effort like you do is a really nice change of pace, and a much needed one at times.

NETHERLANDS PLAYING XI FOR 1st TEST AGAINST PAKISTAN

Huib Nickson
Arnout Lauman
Rinus Neman
Faas Vermeulen
Jan Jansen
Hermanus Visscher
Donald Bomkamp
Rick de Graaf
Tyler de Lange
Arie Rosencrans
Martijn van Gorder

Faas: This pitch is completely opposite to what we played our ODI's in, this will assist the bowlers well. So we are bringing in Hermanus to strengthen our batting lineup.

It feels weird

Le Faas after every match : Let's talk

Even I saw those articles, they were funny and maybe I do talk much but I feel as a captain it's my responsibility to let my fellow country men and women, who love cricket understand what is actually going on away from the pitch and the reasons behind certain decisions we take.
