ripper unable to win bonus point for series win

Furball 7
ripper 4
Final standings:

2 points to Furball for the win.
.5 points for highest run scorer (Cook)
.5 points for highest wicket taker (Anderson)
1 point for series win
1 point for most centurions in the series
1 point for highest wicket taker

For a final score of Furball 13 Ripper 4

So, I now own ripper's avatar until either:
  • Australia regain the Ashes
  • Australia go ahead of England in the ICC Test Rankings
  • Australia beat England in the World Cup Final (I have ripper's avatar for 6 months if Australia eliminate England in an earlier round)

I will pick your avatar in the morning. First thing, celebrate this win. Second thing, find myself a decent avatar.
