Question 3: Will 80 or more runs be scored before lunch on day 1?

A circumspect start from the home side sees them at only 55/1 at luncheon, so "no"

Fallers:

MW1304 Yes
marc Yes
f_o_s Yes
Marcuss Yes
Vimes Yes
SKD Yes
Spark -
grecian -


Standing:

Burgey No
morgieb No
GIMH No
chalky No
Brumby No


Question 4: Will a wicket fall to spin before COP on day 1?

The Pakistan-born debutant top edges Swann to fine leg to give England's offie a day one scalp, so "yes".

Fallers:

Burgey No
chalky No
Brumby No


Standing:

morgieb Yes
GIMH Yes


For our remaining dynamic duo then:

Question 5: Will Hussey be the next wicket to fall?

Question 6: Will Australia's total be 300 or more by COP on day 2?

Are we doing a new round for the final three days? Would probably have to answer three questions each day and/or a tie breaker at the end.

New Round Starting Day Three!!!!!

As we might conceivably only have two days' play remaining I'll take Howe_zat's advice and pose three questions for the new round.

Question 1: Will the next wicket fall to a left arm bowler?

Question 2: Will Cook have completed a ton by COP on day 3?

Question 3: Will England have a 1st innings lead by COP on day 3?


If a mod could do the honours with the title please?
