Ashes Avatar Challenge

Afternoon all

I made an offer a while back stating the following:

Should Bell and Hussey play the same amount of Tests in the forthcoming Ashes, and Hussey score more runs, then Mike Hussey will be my avatar for one month.

Last summer's result produced lots of interesting avatars I believe. Most notably Langeveldt having KP.

So, place your bets and challenges here for this year's Ashes; the results could be interesting!

If Matthew Hoggard averages under 30 in the series, I'll have him as my avatar for a month.

If England retain the Ashes, I'll have Vaughan as my avatar for a month.

If both occur, I'll have Gelman's thumbs.

If Watson finishes the series having played all five tests and averaging more with the bat than the ball, I'll have a pic of him as my avatar for a month.

If Ian Bell doesn't score a century in the series, I'll have Shane Watson as my avatar for a month.

If Mike Hussey averages more than 40 in the series, I'll have him as my avatar for a month.

If both of these things happen, I'll have Watson and Hussey in there.

If Harmison takes 20+ wickets this series, or takes less wickets for an average of < 30, he`ll be my avatar for a month.

Gah, all the good ones are taken...

If an England wicketkeeper scores more than 200 runs during the series, or averages more than 25 runs per innings, I'll have said wicketkeeper in my avatar for a month.
