You can have a picture of Sally Sparrow, and underneath, something about how ugly she is.
You can't bet until next March, sonny.

With Sam being useless, I have a new bet.

To any Kiwi

If Broad takes 2 or more wickets, I get your avatar for 25 days
If Broad takes 1 or 0 wickets, you get my avatar for 25 days

In England - NZ, obviously

Well Halz is looking good. I confess I've come somewhere close to showing an interest, when looking earlier today at whether SA would beat NZ and hence eliminate England at the earliest possible opportunity.

The interest centres around the time England get to Sri Lanka to start the proper limited-overs cricket, though, nothing really to do with this tourney.

Any takers?

I think it's only fair that Sam wins this TBH.

Nah - if I can't win the bet - I can't lose the bet.

You could've won it TBF, but you'd just have had to wait for 6 months for your rewards.

Ok, I think in both these matches of India, RPS has been the real key with the way he has been bowling. So time to have him as my avatar.


And I will have the MoM as my avatar if we beat Australia tomorrow....
