***Official*** Cricketweb Survivor

[King_Ponting]

Welcome back to Cricketweb Survivor. I have infront of me all the members of each tribe. We will be announcing the first two challenges very soon. However, first I would like to clarrify the rules. The first and second challenges will be announced at the start of the first test match. It is advised that all tribe members make allocations for both challenges, it is better to be safe than sorry. All nominations will be accounted for. However, if a person votes and they are voted off the Island their nomination for the second challenge will be ignored.

The tribe with the most correct answers will have immunity an none of their tribe members will be able to be voted off the Island. The other tribe will have to cast their votes on who they think should leave the Island. The votes should be emailed to survivor@cricketmail.net. Any member who does not vote will be automatically voted off the Island. As you can see from the people who did not make it to the Island, we are serious about voting people off the Island. Remember if England do not bat in a particular innings for whatever reason (innings win, poor weather) the Gower Tribe will be up for instant nominations, likewise for the Border tribe if Australia do not bat for any particular reason.

The moment you have all been waiting for...the announcement of the challenges.

Challenge 1 (first innings) Which opening pair will have the highest partnership? England or Australia?

Challenge 2 (second innings) Which bowler from each side will take the first wicket of the innings? This can include run outs and other such 'non-bowler' dismissals. You have to nominate a bowler from each side.

Please post your responses in the challenge 1 and 2 thread, which will be up shortly. Please post both challenge responses in the one post.

Good luck to everyone.

Deadline time limit for the challenges?

Deadline time limit for the challenges?

Before the first ball is bowled in the test match.

There won't be a tie, due to uneven number of members in the Border tribe and even number in the Gower tirbe. If someone doesn't vote they are voted off the Island automatically, so if there was a tie, there would be no problems. Just make sure your team votes, if they have to, otherwise you may find yourself voted off the Island...

So we can vote after the toss but before the first ball is bowled?

So 4 men down basically means the Gower tribe have got to just give up now then?

 

[Neil Pickup]

You never put that voting was mandatory!

Yes. But I think it is fairly obvious who will open for both teams.

You pretty much have to be a regular on the forum. If you miss any of anything then you will be automatically evicted (is that correct terminology for Survivor?) or voted off the Island.

I'm fully aware everything else needs answering, but nowhere was it said that Leader voting was compulsory; I checked the thread five or six times - and obviously I'm a bit of a regular...

Saying this, I'm on holiday for two weeks starting Sunday 25, so this is a waste of my time anyway!

 

[Somerset]

Erm...not sure if you can still join this but I'd be interested.

 

[Nate]

Ahhh... this looks mad. Me like.

Oh, that's disappointing then, my fault for not checking earlier though. Good luck to all those involved!
