Last Man Standing: Ashes 2009

[BoyBrumby]

Right, that's it for day three. The question for the morrow is this:

Will Australia's lead at the close of their innings be greater than 150?

As I'm a gentleman I'll give Adam first dibs on answering unless he'd prefer I go before him.

 

[cover drive man]

Hate to be a pain Brumby, I know you're trying, but what if you both answer the same?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hate to be a pain Brumby, I know you're trying, but what if you both answer the same?

We won't. I'll take the opposite to what Adam does.

 

[Adamc]

Should do if the weather holds allows. Will be positive and say yes.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll back our tragically underperforming attack to fnally fire and say no then.

 

[BoyBrumby]

There is is, Oz at 603/5 already and the lead comfortably in excess of 150.

Will Australia's lead at the close of their innings be greater than 150?

Faller:

Brumby: No

Last Man Standing:

Adam: Yes

Congrats to Adam and thanks to all who played in the inaugural comp.

Now, should we start a new comp on day 5 or wait for the second test? I'm easy either way.

 

[Adamc]

Ha, cheers.

Reckon you should keep a running tally (1 point for each round survived or whatever) and start the next one straight away.

 

[ripper868]

Congrats adam, lets get this thing rollling again brumbles.

 

[pasag]

Well played.

Start again right away IMO for tomorrow's play.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair dos. Seems to be the consensus. I'll post question now, but will accept changes of mind until the start of play tomorrow. & could a mod change the title to say we're starting a new comp? Looking at saggers, tbh... The question is simply this:

Will Australia win the first test?

I'll be optimistic and say no.

 

[pasag]

No probs.

Yes for me, even though have posted the opposite in the match thread.

 

[Uppercut]

I'm starting to think yes.

 

[King Pietersen]

As much as I'd like to be optimistic, I'm going with yes.

 

[ripper868]

yes for me, could change depending on the weather tomorrow.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

A no for me, but a hesitant one.

 

[Neil Pickup]

No. Too blindly patriotic to answer otherwise... and if we can't save this we're not fit to wear the shirt.

 

[alternative]

No.

 

[vic_orthdox]

No no no no no no no no.

 

[Furball]

Yes.

 

[vic_orthdox]

No no no no no no no no.

...Yes.
