Bloody hell. Talk about blast from the past.

Welcome back, man. Been a while.

That was my thinking too. The forecast is a little better than it was, but I don't expect to see a full day's play, and even if there is, the ball will be moving around.


And welcome back marc.

Great thread, BB. But since when did 330.67 become a nice round figure?

I'll have to pay that one.

EDIT: Just to say I'll accept new tips or revisions until the first ball is bowled tomorrow, but it's locked in after that.

There's more chance of Nathan Hauritz taking 10 in the match than 330 being racked up tomorrow.

330 is 3.5 runs per over, with the bowlers picked that's going to be a terrific batting performance I think.

It does depend on who gets the runs, if it's Ponting, Clarke, Haddin for Australia is going to be more likely then a Hussey or Katich ton.

NO is my answer.
