Gonna be so pissed if Ahmedabad produces another road.

Should be banned from hosting a international match for a while if they do, imo.

Bizarrely I knew that was going to be your reaction.

Looking forward to catching the start tomorrow, Can only watch three days after which I have to fly to Delhi and then work begins for the next 30 days and the Supreme Court lawyer under whom I am working told me that he has three ground rules - 1. There are no timings in litigation, 2. There are no sundays in litigation, 3. There are no sick leaves in litigation. Sounds very fun.
Not that awesome - India has always been a nightmare for touring sides.

1. Is your avatar even available? Haven't you lost it forever for your Pakistan vs. England series arrogance?
2. If not, I'm happy to play. What are the deets?

I should also note that my avatar is only available from January (thanks to my tennis arrogance and Federer ****ing me over), but I think the series doesn't finish too much before than anyway.

Avatar's available from the 21st (?) December. I'll double check the Pakistan thread at some point.

Same bet I gave ripper in the last Ashes, and biased indian last time the teams played:

Quote:
Avatar bet: whoever has the most points wins

Rules: 2 points per test win
1 point for whichever country has the most centurions over the course of the series
1 point for whichever country has the highest wicket taker over the course of the series
1 point for series win
.5 for Highest scorer each match
.5 highest wicket taker each match
Duration stipulation: 6 months initially. Let's say I win the bet. If at the end of the 6 months, England are ranked ahead of India, then I still own your avatar. You don't get your avatar back until either a) India are ranked ahead of England, or b) India regain the Pataudi trophy.

FTR, whilst I didn't include the Pataudi Trophy stipulation in my bet with biased indian, it wasn't until the series actually started that I realised there was a trophy at stake. If India win this series then my bet with him is over.

No kidding eh lol. Ahmedabad is such a **** venue for tests, lets hope the new pitch offers more than the previous one.

Also anyone in Canada know if ATN is showing this series live? I'm genuinely surprised they're not showing it.

Wait, so that's not your chosen avatar?

Always just assumed you were a massive Federer fan.
