I will put the MoS in my avatar if India win the test series.

Alright, but then as I have accepted the challenge, so if India wins both the tests and ODI series, then you should place a bet on it as well.

If the England in India thread is not interrupted by trolls for the duration, I will change my avatar.

Now that's a safe bet.

As for TIF you're supposed to challenge someone BEFORE you put the noose around your neck. I guess if you win you gain street cred or something...

Maybe someone else will accept your challenge tho.

If WI beat NZ in the ODI series I'll have Wayne Rooney as my avatar. If they win the Test series I'll have Cristiano Ronaldo. If NZ win the ODIs it'll be Frank Lampard and if the Tests Steven Gerrard. Both losses will be Man City badge while both wins for WI is Man Utd badge.

Do you want me to pick you out a picture now? May as well get a head start on it.

well AUS have to win both series but that'll probably happen
but yeah pick out a Brett Lee pic

 

[Scaly piscine]

Any more wanting to stick their neck on the chopping block over Blackwell, India v England etc. before it starts in a few hours?

 

[Pratters]

I Jamee, challenge you Pratyush.

If England win the India-England Tests, you change your avatar to something of my choosing at the time, if India win, you can change my avatar to something of your choosing, for 2 weeks after the series.

If it's a draw, one week each.

This sounds pretty good now.

Alright with England's tour of India about to officially begin early next month, I'm reminded of the discussions during the Pakistan vs. England thread, where before the series started it was claimed that Keven Pietersen is already the better test batsman than VVS Laxman.

Well I'll put an avatar challenge that Laxman has a better series with the bat than KP. If KP averages and/or scores more runs than VVS Laxman, then I will change my avatar to whatever Scaly wants, and hell I'll put "Scaly is not a whinger" in my sig for a month. The only condition is, if Laxman is injured or whatever and only plays one test, but KP plays all 3 and averages more or scores more runs than Laxman than the challenge is void. They have to play the same number of tests.

As a little bonus If Strauss averages more, or even within 5 runs of Sehwag I'll change my avatar to whaever Halsey wants. Eg. if Sehwag averages 35 for the series and Strauss averages 31, I lose. However the same condition applies, both must play the same number of tests.

Well right now I'm behind on both my challenges, and on top of that Laxman is at risk of being dropped. Quite a pickle.

I'll be fair though, if Laxman is dropped for the 2nd test I'll take it as a loss in the bet, because when I said "they have to play the same number of tests" I meant it more as if Laxman got injured and Pietersen scored more runs it'd be void, but I never had VVS being dropped in my head.

I get a feeling "Scaly is not a whinger" is going to be in my sig soon.

Oh dear.

You can keep your avatar since you'll already be making a supreme sacrifice. Halsey will probably get to change it soon enough anyway...


Oh by the way you don't have an Armee du Nord or camphor wood chest do you?

If Liam Plunkett takes more than 2 wickets in the 2nd test i'll have either the Durham badge or a picture of Neil Killeen as my avatar untill Durham lose a match this year

 

[Chubb]

I'll put up my usual Stumpy The Somerset Dragon Without Wings forfeit if Blackwell plays and takes a wicket in the next test.

Is he even going to play?

 

[Barney Rubble]

If Shaun Udal plays in this Test match I will have him as my avatar for the duration of it.
