Preliminary Battle 3

CHARLES KORTRIGHT

WILLIAM BURNS



Preliminary Battle 4

WALTER BREARLEY VS COLIN HILTON

Don't expect many if any votes for this at all. If there is a tie with each recieving more than 1 vote, they both go through, if 1 vote or less tied then neither goes through.

8pm GMT tomorrow is the deadline.

 

[Goughy]

Kortright and Hilton

Its not best right? but for who bowled the fastest spell (guesing/estimating)?

Indeed. The first post has the rules on it, but ignore the list on the first post.
