Same reason I picked Punter, tbh.Meh, I don't mind Hussey at all actually, that's why I said I'd have him for a year.
And I'm that sure Aus will win.
If I had the power to do it, I don't think I'd permanently change someone's avatar (unless it was Gelman) so I can see why he isn't taking the bet here. Permanent avatar changes are just a bit much IMO, even if you were somehow 100% confident of winning.
Just take the bet and screw the **** over.Please don't tell me how I'm thinking. I don't want to see the kid lose his avatar forever because of some moment of madness, it's not really too hard to understand. The fact that I've left it open till after the Vic game shows I'm more than willing to go on with it after he has time to think about it.
There's a surprise.I found these comments quite funny because of the 'incident' that took place on the last few pages of this thread.
Admirable sentiments!If I had the power to do it, I don't think I'd permanently change someone's avatar (unless it was Gelman) so I can see why he isn't taking the bet here. Permanent avatar changes are just a bit much IMO, even if you were somehow 100% confident of winning.
Meh, I'm not overly worried about getting into an argument. Just thought I'd bring it upThere's a surprise.
I do take avatars more seriously than most people, yes - I might remind you, nonetheless, that you yourself refuse to do avatar bets because Gilchrist is too precious to lose, suggesting you have some decent grasp of the fact that they're not complete trivialities.
Nah the one I give to Sam and Gelman will go down in the history books I gaurantee you! I'm gonna go full out, a million times worse than what I gave SS a while back.That's two lines. EDIT: it was before Aseem spotted that.
Either way, sst's avatar must be preserved for ever more. Best given-avatar ever. I just wish I knew what it was for.
I'll take you on on thatI have a two week avatar challenge. Munaf Patel to get more than give wickets in the 1st Test match. If you disagree and are wrong, you have to put Munaf Patel (with no wording) in your avatar for two weeks, if I am wrong, I must put an avatar of your choosing for two weeks.
Challenge is null and void if Pakistan only bat once or he is not selected.
Too late, the game has already started, sorry.I'll take you on on that
Avatar to be cnfirmed in a day or two
Too late, the game has already started, sorry.
Sure.2nd Test then?
Anyone taking this is officially mad TBH, can't see Pakistan coming close to victory.India wont lose even one test in the test series v Pakistan - avatar challenge... Any one game for 2 weeks?
