Last Man Standing: England vs India

[Howe_zat]

1. Will Gambhir still be in at lunch?

Broady says no.

Still in the game are:

NUFAN
rvd619323
GI Joe
Daemon
Spark
BoyBrumby
Morgieb
flibbertyjibber
GingerFurball
GeriantIsMyHero
shankar

Which then brings us onto question two:

2. Will Anderson be the leading or joint leading wicket taker for the day?

And, again, Broady says no.

So our remaining players are:

NUFAN
GI Joe
Daemon
Morgieb
GingerFurball
GeriantIsMyHero

 

[Howe_zat]

And questions for the above half dozen are:

3. Will Cook outscore Strauss?

4. Will England get a lead of 450 or more?

 

[G.I.Joe]

No
Yes

 

[GIMH]

Yes
Yes

 

[morgieb]

Yes
Yes

 

[NUFAN]

3. Will Cook outscore Strauss?

No

4. Will England get a lead of 450 or more?

No


I think England will declare will lead by 444.

 

[Daemon]

No
Yes

 

[Howe_zat]

Reminder for Furball to get his tip in before play.

 

[Furball]

Yes
Yes

 

[Howe_zat]

3. Will Cook outscore Strauss?

No, he will not. A good ball but overall a poor Test for the VC.

Still in the game are:

NUFAN
GI Joe
Daemon

 

[Daemon]

Tbh the phrasing of the question had a lot to do with me picking Strauss

 

[Howe_zat]

I was fairly poorly worded, as it could have meant outscored in the innings or outscored on the day. Luckily it was straightforward for us.

 

[G.I.Joe]

The important thing is that the intelligent people got it right.

 

[Furball]

The important thing is that the intelligent people got it right.

Haha, I thought Strauss would outscore Cook but answered the question wrongly, so no comment.

 

[NUFAN]

The important thing is that the intelligent people got it right.

AWTA.

Looking forward to seeing Strauss declare with a lead of 400-449.

 

[Howe_zat]

4. Will England get a lead of 450 or more?[/B]

Just when I was about to declare NUFAN the winner, Prior & Broad go and give us that, setting the Indians 458. Unlucky fella.

Still in tonight:

GI Joe
Daemon

 

[Daemon]

So how does this work?

 

[GIMH]

Someone suggested during the Ashes, using a numerical question if we are down to two, e.g. how many runs will be scored tomorrow? Jake's call though.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'll give a tie-breaker question at the end of the day. Something like "How many balls will VVS face?" or "How many bones has Gambhir got left in his arm?"

Edit: ninja'd by GIMH. But yeah.

I guess that does at least mean one Indian fan has something to celebrate tomorrow.
