Answers sent. wouldn't be picking two this round.

 

[Jarquis]

Reckon I'd get 7.

 

[honestbharani]

0think I m gonnna struggle this round.. expect the same 7 out of 10

 

[Furball]

Done. Quite confident with 6 or 7 of them (and the tie breaker, because I was looking at the top run scorers yesterday)

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Done. Quite confident with 6 or 7 of them (and the tie breaker, because I was looking at the top run scorers yesterday)

Better than last time but still pretty crap. But my answer for the tie breaker is nearly spot on.

 

[Pothas]

Should have done a bit better here I think, seem to only be able to answer questions on stuff that happened before WW2.

 

[Howe_zat]

Pothas, I am a mathematician and I'm sure that your claim of "6x6 = 24" isn't right.

 

[Pothas]

Pothas, I am a mathematician and I'm sure that your claim of "6x6 = 24" isn't right.

Maths never my strongest point it has to be said.

Meant 6x4 (that is right isn't it?)

 

[Howe_zat]

Well yeah, but if that's what you meant, then what was your point?

 

[Pothas]

When he hit poor old Hoggard for 6 fours in an over, had decided that was the right answer and was not letting maths get in the way.

 

[Howe_zat]

Ah. Well, okey doke.

 

[morgieb]

Reckon I should do good if you aren't too harsh on spelling.

 

[Himannv]

Since z-man seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, I'm offering his team. In particular to Himannv, who just missed out when gathering signatures and had already expressed interest in this elsewhere before we'd started.

Wally Hammond, if this spot is still up for grabs.

 

[Himannv]

Sent answers for the next set of questions. I really suck at this sort of thing though. Last place pick is fairly probable.

 

[Somerset]

Happier with that lot of questions - I'll be pleased to score anything better than my 1/10 last round though!

 

[Howe_zat]

Wally Hammond, if this spot is still up for grabs.

Excellent.

[weeman27bob]

Furball a machine on the tie breaker.

Happy with that though, expected much worse.
