The avatar challenge

[silentstriker]

Btw, just to clarify with Altoz, our challenge is to have one player out of our chosen 7 to have the highest score with both innings combined, not the aggregate of the seven.

Ah, ours is the aggregate of the three, right Samuel Vines?

I'll go Panesar.

Me and Altoz have decide on an avatar challenge for the final Test with the winner deciding the losers avatar for two weeks (if I lose I put it up after my term with Pratyush ends). Basically we each pick 7 batsmen post by post and whoever has the batsman with the highest combined innings score, wins.

I'll go first and Altoz gets 2 picks because of the obvious disadvantage.

He is on a break for how long now? Richard might.....

Think he's on holiday for the best part of 2 weeks IIRR...

 

[Richard]

Finally.

Is that Graeme Le Saux?

Haha, awesome ways of post-boosting guys.

So is commenting on it.

And no, it isn't Graham Le Saux.

Well I've always done it. Far better than multi-quoting 3 totally separate people and threads of conversation and replying to them all in one post, hence either forcing the person to delete the other parts of my post that are not relevant to them or bolden the bit they're replying to (both of which leave open the chance of the dreaded bad-quoting, which as you know begats more bad quoting) or meaning they think "uh, no, another stupidly long Dickinson post, CBA reading this" and not replying.

And no, it isn't Graham Le Saux.

Well it sure as looks like Graeme Le Saux. Who is it?

Actually we wanted to make it fair by posting it on the forum, that's all, but meh anyway.

Haha, yes, I'm aware of that (and I'm sure I've read very similar posts of yours before - I'm in awe of your ability to post things several times without losing patience to ensure you get your point across to all who doubt it) - my comment was in jest.

Sebastian Spence. Possibly better known as Kincade Lawrence "Cade" Foster.. but then again, possibly not.

I guessed there was some jest to it, but thought it might be one of those old bugbears - the in-jest comment that has some point hidden behind the jest (le's old favourites).

Aha. Never heard of him TBH, but looks amazingly like both Le Saux and, now I think about it, Chris Tremlett.

Anderson.

We count the total # of wickets from all three, and the highest total wins.

Why not pick a 4th bowler? Seems silly to leave one out.

I guess we don't know who India's 4th bowler will be which poses somewhat of a problem...

Yup, that's why I said three. RP Singh will make it and though it is likely Sreesanth will, I don't want to bet on it.

Oi Pratyush, how about having your old long-term avatar back again?

 

[Pratters]

I have had other avatars for longer periods and to answer your question: no.

 

[Richard]

Have you?

Like what? I just remember you having that one for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages then changing it when you found out cozzmicoyoete or whatever (it was one of wahindiawah\nehrafan's accounts) had used a massive version of it for like 2 years before you joined.

I am not interested in going into an elabrote discussion of my avatar histories, sorry. Secondly, it was not related to any one else having that avatar.
