Quiz Draft

Only reason I knew it was Stewart was because I remember being surprised to see him second on the list around the time Kallis got his double. Didn't realize he had scored so many runs.

 

[kingkallis]

I did check that list ZILLIONS of times due to Kallis, hence I knew it

 

[G.I.Joe]

I would have answered Mark Waugh to that question. He always popped up in my head whenever people mentioned that Kallis hadn't scored a 200 yet.

You sure about that tie-breaker? I tallied them up after I sent in my answers to see how close I was, and got 21,333.

That's not what you sent me in the email.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, 28,000 was my guess - I'm saying I think 21,333 is the correct answer.

Yeah, 28,000 was my guess - I'm saying I think 21,333 is the correct answer.

Oh, I see. Where did you get that from? According to statsguru, it's 19,986.

 

[marc71178]

Stats guru presumably ignoring extras?

 

[Furball]

Manually tallying them up.

Won't your statsguru link only count runs scored by batsmen and exclude sundries?

 

[Spikey]

GAME CHANGER z

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

You could argue extras aren't really "scored" as much as "awarded", seeing as no-one scored them - I was coming at the question from a batting perspective. In hindsight, though, the total score is probably more relevant, so I'll accept 21,333 as the "real" answer if people would rather.

As people have already picked at the top of the order, the only difference it makes to the draft order is weeman27bob picking ahead of Pothas.

 

[Furball]

I'm not 100% certain 21,333 is correct - I was manually tallying them up and may have made a mistake - the only reason I tallied up was to see how close I got to the answer and the only reason I brought it up is bexause there's a 1,500 run difference.

 

[Pothas]

Well if it means I can't pick Compton I am going to have one hell of sulk.

 

[Howe_zat]

 

[Himannv]

Well if it means I can't pick Compton I am going to have one hell of sulk.

Sure you would be able to now.
