Oh ****.

I seem to remember that you wanted to choose a different song, though?

Yeah, go with Waltzing Matilda I guess. TBH I was looking for some sort of stridently anti-British convict ballad like Botany Bay, but none of them have enough relevance to the Australian cricket team, and our national anthem is crap. Waltzing Matilda's a good tune though, so go with that. The end of the song, I suppose.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

This is a close one now. He's currently only 43 runs short of 400, but he's the 6th highest runscorer in the series after Ponting, Hussey, Pietersen, Collingwood and Clarke. Quite close to Clarke and Collingwood, so if he has a good 5th test you'll be changing your sig.

Hoggy, get fit...(and don't batter him with the short stuff...)

 

[Johnners]

It's looking the goods that i won't have to have anything in reference to Flintoff in my sig as his bowling is well over 32.5 and his batting well under 27.5

Lee needs to lower his average by 10 for me to keep my beloved Ford Logo as my avatar... CARN BINGA!!!!

By 10? I thought you bet on 32.5? His average for the series is under 40 now.

 

[Johnners]

i thought it was 29.5 ??? 32.5 is freddies bowling iirc

Either or.... Lee needs more than 6 wickets this test

Fuller, burn in hell

I know I made the bet, but that's hardly the point

Haha, good man. I don't mind Jerusalem, so I wouldn't have minded having it in my sig if England had somehow managed to retain the Ashes. Pretty safe bet.

 

[GIMH]

Bah, now you tell me

Still, a bet's a bet, and I never shy away from my betting debts. In fact, it's the reason why I have short hair these last couple of years

How about this..if Glenn McGrath is not the leading pace wicket taker, I will have in my signature:

"PhoenixFire is the greatest source of cricketing knowledge in the world, and I am but a humble servant at his feet."

For one month. And change my avatar to 'PhoenixFire's Slave'.

I feel safe SS, get your avatar of whatever I want ready................

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

If Matthew Hoggard averages under 30 in the series, I'll have him as my avatar for a month.

If England retain the Ashes, I'll have Vaughan as my avatar for a month.

If both occur, I'll have Gelman's thumbs.

13 wickets @ 37.38 for Hoggard. Should be safe here.

 

[pasag]

Wickets for Glenn McGrath - 15
Wickets for Andrew Flintoff - 10
BoyBrumby changing his avatar to Freddie Mercury - Priceless.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Hoggard has been much better than his average would say.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

How's Bell's average at the moment? Getting nervous about Patto getting into my avatar.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Bell is 223 @ 37

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Gah, I'm screwed.

 

[James90]

If Martyn plays all five tests this series I'll have his opposite number's (Collingwood) picture up for a month.

Solid.

Need to spice it up a bit. If Pietersen scores more than Ponting in the fifth test (innings combined) then I'll make an avatar of Pietersen claiming that England will win the World Cup.

Only condition is if Ponting only bats once and Pietersen twice. Then I make an avatar highlighting the Ashes score.

That's a cop-out. If either of them only bat once, you should take both of their first scores..

I think maybe his point was that if Ponting only bats once it'll probably mean that England got slaughtered again.

I figured that, but KP could still have performed better...I mean let's be honest, on current form there's a fair chance of Aus only batting once

 

[James90]

Alright, that's fair enough.
