Long term bets..

[NUFAN]

Ok you win. Give me your details and ill give you $30

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Nooners!!!

Anyway...Patto’s
James Pattinson will take 200 test wickets
Pat Cummins will take 350 at <25

 

[Starfighter]

Quite courageous with the Pattinson prediction when I'm leaning towards 'will never play another test'. I must say I like your scenario more though.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Haha I know, but I’m living in a world of hope and dreams. I wear my heart on my sleeve friend

 

[Burgey]

Dug up this fantastic 1980s BBC doco on Bodyline. Apologies if it's been posted before but it has some great interviews with the likes of Wyatt, Larwood, Ames, Bowes, O'Reilly, Leo O'brien etc etc. Quality

Get your team posting for you again Burgey mate..........pretty sure you didn't mean to post that in this thread. Unless you think Harold is gonna be a gun in 2023.

But, thanks for the post anyway......will definitely check that out later.

Kevin Pietersen will become the first Englishman to cross the 10,000 run mark in Tests.

Will take this. Cook to beat him to it.

yup

The bets are written in my favour so if these things happen I win, if they don't Prince wins.

These are the bets that we have come up with.

- Mitchell Johnson less then 1 test hundred
- Dale Steyn will average over 25.00 with the ball
- George Bailey will average more then Sarwan in Test Cricket (Bailey must play a test).
- Chris Martin to make a test match 10
- Mahendra Dhoni will average more then Brad Haddin at test cricket (Haddin must play a test).
- Alastair Cook will average more then Graeme Smith in test cricket
- Yuvraj will average 40 in both forms of the game

I think the only one of these you got was based on Chris Martin's batting? A solid foundation for success.

He got the Dhoni/Haddin one right too. 2/7 not a great strike rate though.

 

[mr_mister]

Smith will retire with the second best ever test average

 

[Groundking]

Smith will retire with the second best ever test average

What's the qualification for this?

 

[mr_mister]

20 test innings

 

[trundler]

Pat Cummins, Blessing Muzurabani and Shimron Hetmeyer will be stars of the next decade.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pat Cummins, Blessing Muzurabani and Shimron Hetmeyer will be stars of the next decade.

How's Muzarabani going to pull it off without playing international cricket?

 

[trundler]

I forgot Rabada but he's an obvious one unless he Bothams up.

Muzurabani has some serious talent. Gets that awkward bounce. If only he wasn't from Zimbabwe.

 

[NUFAN]

How's Muzarabani going to pull it off without playing international cricket?

Through prayer.

 

[the big bambino]

He'll pull the oldest soldier of fortune trick and qualify for England.

 

[Prince EWS]

He'll pull the oldest soldier of fortune trick and qualify for England.

It'll take him seven years. He'd have to be really awesome in the following three to make trundler's prediction true.

 

[the big bambino]

Seven! I thought it was four.

 

[Prince EWS]

Seven! I thought it was four.

It's seven now for England if you move after you've turned 18. Four for other countries.
