Hmm, technically speaking once one of them break it then there's a new record So you're expecting them to all out do one another?I'll bet that Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell will all break the record for most runs (8900) and centuries (22) for England batsmen.
jeez gents... show some acknowledgement for the guy who started the thing..I'd like to cancel this one.
Can I join in late to the Kohli lovin'?
Hmm. I can't see it.Suresh Raina will maintain a 55+ average for the next few years and end up with 8000+ runs at 50+ overall.
Not looking good this one!- Ben Hilfenhaus to be test cricket's leading wicket taker from 2011 - 2013
Alastair Cook: mat 71 inn 124 n/o 7 runs 5834 ave 49.86
Graeme Smith mat 91 inn 159 n/o 9 runs 7457 ave 49.71
WoakesHmm. I can't see it.
Not looking good this one!

Oh irony.I wanna join in with some associate predictions
...
Eoin Morgan to score 2500 OD runs
Hey Perm, why do you think Steyn will definitely average over 25?
This is from the first page of the thread. Can't wait to reread the rest.Because he's just an average bowler. Can tear through sides when conditions suit and he is in good rhythm, but up against a decent batting lineup I feel as though he'll get hammered. Definitely not sub-25 material. Probably 27 or 28.
McCullum ODI ton.
Nah, too dire.
I'd say that McCullum isn't a chance in hell to score an ODI ton.
Athlai on the money!He'll be given opportunity up the order, but I doubt he's good enough to concentrate and keep his cool for long enough to score a century.
You're screwed.Amit Mishra will finish his career with an average below 30.
Broad is trying his hardest to prove teja wrong.Broad and Sharma will never average below 30 as bowlers.
Perm on Steyn and PEWS on McCullum earlier this thread made me grin.
-Taylor to average >45 in test cricket I'm still confident
-Ryder to average >45 in test cricket Likewise
-Vettori to finish with a batting average of 35 or higherThis is a punt and a half
-Jeet Raval to be our next decent test opener Wrong on a technicality. McCullum looks like he will beat him to it
-Tim McIntosh to remain in the side for at least two more years Wrong

I will take this bet. I hope you win it though because it means NZ will have a strong opener. I reckon that How or so forth could challenge him.

Can I claim victory on both of these bets...or do you want to give Hilfenhaus longer...And this one. I reckon Zaheer/Steyn will beat him and the Pakistanis if they beat the ban. I do think he is a very good bowler though.
Yeah, the House is doomed by the looks of things, I concede.Can I claim victory on both of these bets...or do you want to give Hilfenhaus longer...
I will take this as long as it is excluding Bangers and Zimbos we are talking I don't want him to get a Guptil like average and for you to win.Yeah, the House is doomed by the looks of things, I concede.
A couple of new ones
- Dean Brownlie to average > 40 in test cricket to become New Zealand's favourite "Australian"
- Reece Young to play < 10 test matches.
Rate Brownlie, reckon he's going to have a career at this level, not that many people seem to like him though.
He should have no problems with test cricket in this country then huh?And I reckon managing the crowd is part of being a pro.
I am already on record questioning his glove work - and I noted that you made a similar but more measured comment a month later. Nothing wrong with his batting at all especially his temperament.Yeah, the House is doomed by the looks of things, I concede.
