Last Man Standing: Ashes 2009

Two questions for day two in order to speed things up a little. Need both to progress (unless only one person gets Q1).

Andrew Strauss has never managed to turn any of his previous 34 FC (including 17 Test) centuries into a double. He has a good opportunity here with another 39 runs needed and a generous pitch to bat on.

Q1. Will Andrew Strauss reach his first double century on day two?


Stuart Broad failed to impress in Cardiff, picking up a solitary wicket in his 32 overs there. He will be looking for a better performance tomorrow (assuming England get a chance to bowl), but the Australian top order will likely make it difficult for him.

Q2. Will Stuart Broad take a wicket on day two?

Answers due by the scheduled start of play.

Well I was knocked out due to some really confusing goings on between tests.
FTR I would have been knocked out anyway due to a superb innings from Andrew Strauss, though i would have probably yessed 6 wickets to fall.
I would also go no and no but cant be counted

I'm going yes & no.

Not enough time for Broad to get a wicket between us batting and the rain, and not taking the new ball.

So, I win again. No, not rigged at all.

New round then, open to all.

Q: Will any batsman score a century on day three?
