I'm going with Yes & Yes.

& don't be editing tips, people. You know who you are. If you change your mind please repost, preferrably quoting your original tips.

has served me well so far. Can't believe I almost won .

 

[Adamc]

[TumTum]

No

Will this round continue into the next Test?

 

[Pothas]

Yes
Yes

 

[Flyonthewall]

Yes
Yes. (KP on the slog trying to set a decleration up probably)

Didn't work last time, but I feel it's probably more realistic bet this time.

 

[pskov]

Yes, that's correct. Everyone now gets to try again. All tips made before play begins are accepted.

Question 1: Will the next wicket to fall be dismissed out "caught"?

Question 2: WIll Mitchell Johnson take the wicket of one of the top 7 by COP?

As some of our more special pupils seemed to struggle with the point, I'll try to clarify. You need to answer both questions correctly to advance. If you answer the first one incorrectly you're out regardless of whether you get the 2nd correct. Is that clear now, children?

One does hope so....

So what happens regarding question 1 if another wicket doesn't fall for the rest of this test?

 

[andyc]

Bugger, forgot to get my tips in on time. Retiring* on a high, I guess





*Till next round

No wicket fell, therefore "the next wicket to fall" was not out caught. Thus the "no" vote wins.

No wicket fell, therefore "the next wicket to fall" was not out caught. Thus the "no" vote wins.

A wicket did just fall...Katich out caught...so it's a yes.

 

[andyc]

A wicket did just fall...Katich out caught...so it's a yes.

But Question One has to come before Question Two, which clearly can't happen as Mitch won't be bowling any more this Test. How confusing.

Update time:

Will the next wicket to fall be dismissed out "caught"?

Katman nicks to the cordon, so that's a "yes". Maybe not the anticipated victim, however.

NUFAN No

Will Mitchell Johnson take the wicket of one of the top 7 by COP?

Given that next wicket was the Katman, we already knew the answer was in the negative.

Clapo Yes
chalky Yes

Questions for our remaing big 4 at COP.

 

[Prince EWS]

But Question One has to come before Question Two, which clearly can't happen as Mitch won't be bowling any more this Test. How confusing.

Nah Question 2 still comes second because it's not the close of play yet. Whether or not his team is bowling is technically irrelevant - he's not going to take a wicket for the rest of the day.

So it's Yes/No, as the result.

No hint of bias, because I forgot to vote (and I would've voted Yes/Yes anyway ).

 

[morgieb]

lol @ only 4 people surviving past the first day! Last round there was 4 in the final round.

 

[Spark]

Wasn't expecting that at all, actually.

 

[marc71178]

I deserve a bye for picking England not losing a wicket TBH.
