Anderson not playing in Brisbane but not injury related and as we all went under anyway inclined to just leave that, not sure any England bowlers are likely to play all 5 tests apart from maybe Stokes who might have a limited workload.


Any readers of the thread please feel free to join in...no prizes I'm afraid..

I remember these! (Not that I was ever any good at them)

Too late I'll play for fun!

I'll allow if no one objects yhtl ...best I can do post toss I'm afraid

No probs either way, selections stand
and I've a small advantage posting late.

Good luck.

#4 could be weighed in pretty early...

lowest team total 185.5 o/u      SETTLED as UNDER

a few in running updates...

Alex Carey snagged five catches in the Gabba test (2nd inns) narrowly missing out on the 5.5 over line...

Adelaide saw the first run out of the series (Warner) Eng have missed all 3 stumps on a number of occasions already this series..

The highest score line came within an inch of 'overring' in Australia's 1st inns at Adelaide (473-9 dec)...

Smith series runs are @ 111  with Root benefitting from one extra inns already ... @ 175

Cummins covid proximity is costly for his 'overs' as after a great start in Brisbane, he remains stuck on 7 after Adelaide.. while Anderson after one of his more likely venues for a good haul could only take 3 wickets...

I've done my nuts on this but do I get any credit for the tie breaker 5-0 prediction?

I'd like to cash out.

no cash outs I'm afraid de'

Oz wins setlled as OVER

Smith runs currently 127 (averaging only 31.75)
Root runs currently 253 (@ 42.17)

Cummins wickets 10 (@ 14.40)
Anderson wickets 7 (@ 14.14)  might surprise a few that average

no run outs added in Melbourne

England wins settled as UNDER
Anderson wickets settled as UNDER

Smith series runs settled as UNDER

Root series runs settled as UNDER

highest series score settled as UNDER

Cummins series wkts settled as UNDER

run outs settled as UNDER

Ct/stp by wk settled as UNDER

Please appeal if you feel your result is incorrect or anybody else's for that matter-- in the interests of a speedy declaration was done on a bit of paper pretty rapidly..

De'T - 7
Tom  - 5
Apt - 7
Brent - 9
SMP - 7
Crunchy - 9
YHTL - 6

no correct tie breaker...Crunchy and Brent share what may well be the last ever over/under comp judging by interest levels...but well done all and thanks for taking part..

a couple of poor lines on my part so apologies for that..but hopefully added a bit of extra interest to a fairly one sided series.

Thanks for this, B.

I checked through it more than once to see how we were all shaping up.

Well done Brentford.

And thanks.

Poor effort here, but got the tie breaker, lol.

If it were formula 1,i might be holding
the trophy, but that's not cricket!

appreciated fellas..and I did intend to raise Tom' and YHTL as very noteworthy correct score gurus

Thanks for running Brentford - thought I got 8 rather than 7 but still not enough to challenge top spot.

Highest series score missing by 2 runs was a bit of a choker :(

apologies SMP - you are indeed correct (8) after a recount !    ...
