[Cabinet96]

Four no shows, a world record and a Haddin failure mean that just three of us are left standing by day three.

Question 4: Will Brad Haddin make 40 or more tomorrow?

[Cabinet96]

Day three questions for the terrific trio.

Question 5: Will either Alastair Cook or Kevin Pietersen complete a century tomorrow?

Question 6: Will Ashton Agar have taken at least three wickets by the end of the day?

Answers in before the first ball tomorrow please.

 

[NUFAN]

I'll stick with the tried and true:

Yes
No

I hope I'm wrong on both counts unless Agar gets 2 and Siddle 6

 

[Daemon]

No
No

 

[Cabinet96]

Yes
No

 

[NUFAN]

Not a big deal but I think 2 wickets to Agar would have seen someone jump on him.

 

[CricAddict]

Since all 3 have different predictions, we ll see the first winner today. Eager to participate in the next round.

Edit: Oops, Misread Cabinet's one. Hope Daemon wins then

 

[Riggins]

think there's no doubt cab has rigged this.

 

[Cabinet96]

Rigged or not rigged, I won't be winning this round, as Cook and Pietersen both failed to convert their fifties to centuries.

Question 5: Will either Alastair Cook or Kevin Pietersen complete a century tomorrow?

Falles:
Cabinet - Yes
Nufan - Yes

Thus

The Last Man Standing:
Daemon - No

[Cabinet96]

Start a new round before the afternoon session ffsS

I must admit the thought of that hadn't occurred to me. Better to do it before a days play so that more people can get involved though, IMO.

 

[MW1304]

I've won this before? wtf.

Will have to join the next round.

 

[uvelocity]

no
