The Alternate Futures Draft 1.0

[NUFAN]

Another good strategy is answering your question half way through the day as honestb did. Still got it wrong though.

I'm actually surprised the 4th day tea question was allowed due to the massive duration. One thing though (for harsh mainly) but is it really stopping us from starting round 2? I don't exactly think that Howe is going to answer his next question differently because he doesn't know if his first player picked is a good or bad batsman.

If Howe doesn't have a problem with it, I don't see an issue.

It seems the best strategy is to make your opponent answer a question on Test matches as even if they are right, they have to wait another 3 days to pick from the good list.

On the bright side you definitely won't be picking from the good list

The question is definitely allowed.

Agreed though that we can continue on to the next round. Just have to make sure the lists for the next round are completely different.

Will post the second round details in an hour or so.

The worst of the worst from the bad list will also be gone when tea day 4 rolls around, sounds like a good tradeoff imo

 

[Howe_zat]

Should get a refund in the event of rain

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah if people are picking matches that are longer than one day, just make sure what you're asking is likely to be resolved in the next day or so.

Yeah, sorry y'all.

01. Nuf - Cab

03. Howe - Daemon
04. Compton - hb
05. anil - jimmy

The clock to ask questions begins now.

 

[Howe_zat]

Daemon,

do we really need Daemon I mean will Bangladesh's next opening partnership be worth 35+?

 

[Daemon]

No

Same question back at you

 

[Howe_zat]

Nah I don't think so either

 

[Compton]

hb, will this NZ innings reach more than 332.5?

 

[anil1405]

05. Shri - jimmy

You've misspelt anil.

Jimmy, will Gujarat set ROI a target of 391 or more?

 

[honestbharani]

Compton.. will a BD opener score a 50?

 

[honestbharani]

Yes

 

[harsh.ag]

Damn. Sorry about that. Fixed.

 

[NUFAN]

Cab, will English Cricketers score above 94.5 combined runs in the upcoming BBL semi final between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars? For clarity, these are runs scored by Luke Wright, KP, Ian Bell and Tim Bresnan.

 

[NUFAN]

No

Same question back at you

Lame. Shouldn't be able to ask the same question.
