The avatar challenge

[Richard]

You may be surprised (not!) to hear I

Gegalo, that is, not Rob.

 

[biased indian]

That's extremely tempting, and much as I'm disgusted at the idea of Brett Lee being made to look better than Murali, circumstances being what they have been so far I can't shake the feeling it's likely.

First tabs on this bet and only if I decide to turn it down can someone else leap in there.

so r u taking that.... other wise i am willing to take up that

 

[Richard]

Nah, have come to my senses TBH. I genuinely believe there's a decent chance, rather than merely hope, that class will out. You have it.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I'm willing to wager that MS Dhoni will not pass fifty in the test series this summer. If he does, I'll change my picture to anything anyone suggests until March.

 

[Richard]

That's very risky. Not - yet - tempted, will wait to see him against Pakistan first. I'd happily wager (not that I am mind) that he'd average under 30, but not passing 50 in 8 (probably) innings? That's a big ask for someone who knows one end of a bat from the other.

 

[Athlai]

Dhoni's two longest droughts have been 11 innings without a 50 (47 though) and one of 5 innings.

He has batted in both innings in 12 of his 20 matches.

So should roughly play 6-7 innings.

I don't rate Dhoni as far as I can throw him - I don't see him succeeding against the best attack in the world.

I'm also willing to say that if he plays every test he'll play eight innings as India fail to even go close to winning a test. I don't see anyone outside of Dravid and possibly Tendulkar troubling the Aussie bowlers.

Err, you either accept it or you don't. No tentatively accepting bets.

 

[Richard]

I didn't - I said I'd have first tabs on it. I then subsequently said bi could have it.

 

[andyc]

TBH, wouldn't think any less of him if he kept the pineapple. Would think more of him, actually. Hopefully this endorsment sees the pineapple stay in its rightful place.

Haha nah, I'll take the hit. I deserve it for being so stupid.

 

[NZTailender]

Nah look, the Pineapple needs to stay. To break the run would be awful.

 

[andyc]

Haha, I already broke it last year with the CB series, had that picture of Jack with his massive afro after England actually did something useful

Edit: Doesn't stop me from feeling dirty though. NFI who it is, btw.

 

[NZTailender]

Forgot tbh. Here's hoping for a speedy return of the pineapple.

 

[andruid]

Sir Bloody, Meet your new avatar

 

[Richard]

Interesting choice...

 

[andruid]

Possibly the original Girly pom

 

[Jono]

I can do another sig challenge on that.

Haha I'm not sure if you were being serious, but if you are I'm up for it.

Nice bet actually. I like these kind of challenges. I'll take up that offer.

 

[shortpitched713]

Yup, I'm up for it.

You're screwed, by the way.

i will take that ....one week rite......

 

[Jono]

As if man, Asif isn't even going to play.
