If McGrath averages more than 30 in the series, I will have an avatar of Panesar for a month.

Wow. Dav's clearly demob happy.

I reckon it's more fun if the avatar challenges are one-on-one: I think Fred will take more wickets than McGrath this series & will have the avatar of any Aussie poster's choice for a month if McGrath takes more; if Fred bags more scalps you have the avatar of my choosing for the same period.

Any takers?

Let's hope McGrath stays away from the odd game of rugby, because the sight of you with Mercury in your avatar may just possibly be the funniest thing ever.

If Andrew Flintoff scores a century in the series I'll have a picture of Paul Cooke in my avatar for a month.

If Shaun Tait takes five wickets in the series I will put the Wigan badge up in my avatar for a month.

If Australia fail to win either of the first two tests I'll have AA as my avatar until the boxing day test.



Finally, if England win the Ashes I'll have a picture of Stephen Burke as my avatar for a whole year.
