World Cup Avatar Challenges

[Richard]

Well reminded. I almost fell for that there! Completely forgot they had still to play Ireland!

What'dya take me for, Grey? Actually, probably best not answered...

 

[andyc]

Richard, given that you and I both have fairly long-standing avatars (my recent McNamara debacle aside), how about a challenge? Assuming he plays them all, if Shaun Tait goes wicketless in any of Australia's remaining Super Eight games (vs. Ireland, Sri Lanka and New Zealand), then I'll change my avatar to a choice of yours for a month. If he takes a wicket in each of those games, I choose one for you for a month.

 

[Richard]

A month is a long time, as we both know...

Make it 2 weeks and you're on!

(You automatically know what your avatar will be, BTW, don't you? )

EDIT: oh, yeah, T&C - if he misses one or more of the remaining games, even if just through being rested, it's a draw, yeah?

Yep, sounds good to me. C'mon Shaun Tait.

 

[Dark Hunter]

...

Woops...Forgot about this. Should really start giving Clarke more credit than i do.

 

[honestbharani]

Count me in!

hmmm, Leverock is the avatar if England make it to the semis..... Deal?

 

[Dizzy #4]

OK, If the Bangas make it to the Semis, I'll Put a Banglandeshi flag as an avatar... And I won't even metion Dizzy's 201!

 

[Richard]

Yep, sounds good to me. C'mon Shaun Tait.

Right, we're on. And I'll even let you off if he breaks down in his 2nd over in some game without getting a wicket first. Not his 3rd, though.

 

[shortpitched713]

I am basically resigning myself that Mike Hussey will be in my avatar for a year. Sad days.

Don't lose hope man. Aussies can still be beaten. I hope...

 

[GIMH]

BTW, does this have any impact on the Smith-Corrin challenge? Or is that past now?

EDIT: and I can't back-out, I never accepted ITFP! Given that hindsight has revealed I was wise, it was clearly a good call from me. *Insert stuck-up smiley*

Fairplay to KP, I guess I'll change the avatar. It'll happen soon.

It has been done. Hope you burn in hell for eternity, Mr. Corrin.

Delighted to have won this, my first ever victory of this kind. Cant help but notice Smith has been banned though

 

[pasag]

Jeez, hollow victory.

 

[GIMH]

Well yes. Rest assured though, Smith was in my thoughts as I watched KP bat on Sunday.

Sad innit.

 

[steds]

Stuck with this gob****e until the 11th April, but van Bunge is next.

Day late, but meh. Atleast it's better than Paul Cooke.

 

[readie]

If Ireland beat Aus tonite I'll have a pic of a liverpool player of someone's (probably bugssy's choosing) for a month

 

[andyc]

Good to get home and see Tait has taken wickets. One down, three to go

 

[andyc]

Feeling nervous yet Richard?

 

[Richard]

I was always making said bet with some trepidation - I never really fancied my chances.

The sole reason was so I'd not get repeatedly called a chicken-outer.

Was just waiting for a decent bloke who I knew wouldn't take it too far to make me an offer, ITBT.

(Flattery will get me nowhere, I know - but it's worth a try... )

BTW - what you got in mind?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Flushed with our recent success I'm throwing out a challenge to anyone out there: if England don't make the semis I'll have the avatar of your choosing for a month, if we do you have the pic of my choice for the same period.

Any takers?

You can have a combined pic of Brian, Farrokh, Roger and John.

I assume that'd hurt you even more than Fred by himself.

EDIT: actually, make that a pic of Sinead, Lindsay, Edele and Keavy

And I'll lose my perminant avatar to whatever you want if we do make the semis (can be the text "I Am Gay" if you think that'd ram the point home...)

Come on then, do your worst.

 

[Richard]

I already showed yau guys, di'n't I?

Feel 1\100th guilty making you remove that rather splendid current one, but no excuses - you have Lindsay, Keavy, Edele and Sinaed 'til the 18th of May.

EDIT: I don't feel guilty any more, I just saved it to my PC, and will surely enforce it on someone ITF.

EDIT2:
