I have been having a discussion with our less intelligent friends from the other side of 'Th Lump' and I believe that Rangi Chase deserves far more credit than he has recieved this year. They argue that it is easy for him to stand out in an 'average' side whereas I believe its harder to get true recognition for your work when surrounded by weaker players as you have very little support for example not much platform to play off.

Am I right or wrong

I see literacy skills are at an all time high in here.

And what is wrong with 'thread referenced'? In the context of the sentence 'reference' is being employed as a verb, which is grammatically correct, and verbs can be applied in the past tense when appropriate, which it was on this occasion.
