Cook will have a higher batting average than Watson. Am willing to give up Waqar for a month if anyone fancies it.

lol, how did ginger get banned?

My bet for any Pom goes by each toss. If Aus wins the toss I choose your avatar till the next toss and vice versa over the length of the series.

Well, if I'm going to do this, let's do it right. My bet; KP won't score a ton in this series. Any takers?

.5 for Highest scorer each match

More skill related instead of byes etc. Do like the duration stipulation.

EDIT or alternatively, just a straight up Whoever wins/retains bet.
Right then - me vs GF
no points for the draw
Furball takes an early 3-2 lead for the centurions point.
Evens in the highest wicket stakes (be surprised if Siddle or Finn end up with the most tbh)
.5 to furball for highest scorer in match (Cook)
.5 each for highest wicket taker in match (Finn and Siddle)

Furball: 1.0
Ripper: 0.5

ripper, are we going for match figures or innings figures when we're deciding top run scorer and wicket takers in a match?

Technically KP didn't score a ton; it was a double ton.
