Last Man Standing: Ashes 2009

[biased indian]

Probably too late.

But will try anyway.

Yes.

think you were already out

 

[superkingdave]

Still reckon at least 7 will be down tonight

 

[GIMH]

I hope I go out

 

[Mister Wright]

think you were already out

Ah...sorry. Thought we were starting afresh.

 

[Adamc]

The ayes have it, despite first impressions. New question(s) at close of play.

 

[Adamc]

Eight remaining with exactly six wickets falling on day one.

Two questions for day two in order to speed things up a little. Need both to progress (unless only one person gets Q1).

Andrew Strauss has never managed to turn any of his previous 34 FC (including 17 Test) centuries into a double. He has a good opportunity here with another 39 runs needed and a generous pitch to bat on.

Q1. Will Andrew Strauss reach his first double century on day two?

Stuart Broad failed to impress in Cardiff, picking up a solitary wicket in his 32 overs there. He will be looking for a better performance tomorrow (assuming England get a chance to bowl), but the Australian top order will likely make it difficult for him.

Q2. Will Stuart Broad take a wicket on day two?

Answers due by the scheduled start of play.

 

[GIMH]

Yes & Yes

 

[kp4captain]

Well I was knocked out due to some really confusing goings on between tests.
FTR I would have been knocked out anyway due to a superb innings from Andrew Strauss, though i would have probably yessed 6 wickets to fall.
I would also go no and no but cant be counted

 

[fredfertang]

no and no

 

[four_or_six]

I'm going yes & no.

Not enough time for Broad to get a wicket between us batting and the rain, and not taking the new ball.

 

[inbox24]

Yes to the double century for Alejandro, and No to the wicket from the Swede.

 

[chalky]

Strauss 200 - Yes

Broad Wicket - No

 

[Adamc]

Will go against my better judgment and go for no and yes since no one else has yet.

 

[biased indian]

3 remain

 

[Adamc]

Two, kp4captain isn't in this round. All up to Broad to determine the winner now.

 

[Adamc]

Going to take that as close of play.
