How is it trying to game the system?

Because Marc thinks so

 

[Howe_zat]

I asked

1. Will more than 80 runs be scored before lunch?

So with England swiftly on the comeback to 88 ocker pulverisations it's a yes

Ha ha, they got it even though Starc was not spraying it around. Reasoning sucked but got through.

 

[Furball]

How is it trying to game the system?

Because the toss has always been the deadline.

 

[Cabinet96]

Well, I ran the last two and I didn't make it the deadline. I don't see why it should be. Why do you have to do it the day before when you don't know who's batting, what the teams are or even the conditions?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

It's a distinct advantage to be online between the toss and the start of play.

 

[weldone]

Because the toss has always been the deadline.

Not after Howe said this.

yes fine

What Vimes said.

End of the day, up to the people running the comps. But I prefer day one to be pre-toss and all others pre-start of play.

good point

 

[Antihippy]

Goddamn whiffed this heavily right out of the blocks.

 

[Howe_zat]

I asked:

2. Will 7 or more wickets fall before the close of play?

And with Buttler the seventh brave hero to be cheated out by the villains today, the answer is yes

Questions for the four of them for day two:

1. Will Moeen Ali get to 50+ in this innings?

2. Will James Anderson take the first Australian wicket of the series?

 

[Pothas]

Yes
No

 

[GIMH]

Yes
Yes

 

[NUFAN]

So weird, i answered as though it was 7 or LESS and even had this gut feeling that exactly 7 would fall. Oh well no banana for me.

 

[morgieb]

No
Yes

 

[adub]

Don't care
Don't care

[flibbertyjibber]

No
No

May as well edit mine so we have a winner today no matter what. Taking one for the team here

 

[Howe_zat]

I asked

1. Will Moeen Ali get to 50+ in this innings?

With the great man flaying the attack on his way to 77, it's yes.
