4th Test selections on this thread

Rules

Entries must be made before the first ball of each Test match.
No editing of post’s after first ball.

There will be a separate thread for each Test match.

Scoring

You have 200 points in each match to spread out in anyway you chose to put into an England win, Australia win plus the draw. example as followed.

England 99
Australia 66
Draw 35

If Australia win you will score 66

Selections made that are over 200 points will have the amount over taken off their highest prediction.

Selections made that are under 200 points will have the amount under put onto their lowest prediction.

You also score points with a power player. You chose one player per match that will score you points as followed.

batting – for every 1 run = 1 point
bowling – for every 1 wicket = 20 points
fielding – 1 catch = 10 points, 1 stumping = 10 points. (run outs don’t score.)

You can pick as many reserve power players as you like. If none of your chosen players are involved in the match or you forget to chose a player then the first batsman of the team batting first will become the selection but will start with minus 20 points(so get a reserve in)

The winner will be the person who scores the most points added together from each Test match.

I think that covers all the rules and scoring, if anything comes up within the five matches my decision will be final…..

Australia 200

PP: Big Davy Warner

[Nathan Hughes]

I was looking at Smith and then Warner but need to do something different to get back in contention. I dont fancy England without Anderson and as unlikely as it is I’m going for the draw in the hope both sides can hit big first innings totals and then England being 2-1 up in the series settle on the draw with Cook batting forever.

Draw 200
A Cook

B*llocks I forgot about this until about half an hour into the game with the Aussies 7 down Just hope Cook does well for Nathan as the Draw looks a little unlikely

[Nathan Hughes]

Draw still on
Australia to make 1000 all out in the second innings…..

I’ll settle for Broad to hit around 20 or 30 runs and 6 wickets 2nd innings or is that a bit greedy?
