Well yes. Rest assured though, Smith was in my thoughts as I watched KP bat on Sunday.

Sad innit.

Good to get home and see Tait has taken wickets. One down, three to go

I was always making said bet with some trepidation - I never really fancied my chances.

The sole reason was so I'd not get repeatedly called a chicken-outer.

Was just waiting for a decent bloke who I knew wouldn't take it too far to make me an offer, ITBT.

(Flattery will get me nowhere, I know - but it's worth a try... )

BTW - what you got in mind?

Any takers?

I assume that'd hurt you even more than Fred by himself.

EDIT: actually, make that a pic of Sinead, Lindsay, Edele and Keavy

And I'll lose my perminant avatar to whatever you want if we do make the semis (can be the text "I Am Gay" if you think that'd ram the point home...)
Come on then, do your worst.

I already showed yau guys, di'n't I?

Feel 1\100th guilty making you remove that rather splendid current one, but no excuses - you have Lindsay, Keavy, Edele and Sinaed 'til the 18th of May.

EDIT: I don't feel guilty any more, I just saved it to my PC, and will surely enforce it on someone ITF.

You just wait, Gelman - I'll 'ave you one day, I promise...

And you never know - if Tait lets Cameron down, that could be - briefly - 4 B*Witched avatars at once... think of that.

Well, Turb...

Or should I say PF - is it to be Smith or Shoaib with a big pink heart?

Anyway, my original offer was clearly lacking in balls. Change it to if mighty mighty England do not make the final of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, then I shall have the avatar of pasag's choice for one month

Poor old Martyn.

Though not quite as poor-old as sp713 and PF... looks a definate chance of them emulating Jesse in careless throwaway lines based on fleeting matters... resulting in terrible length sentences...

How unwise to make such massive stakes based on a few random games where 4 or 5 players were missing!

I just can't imagine sp713 without Umar Gul, too! Make sure you find a Ponting with as much of a nice smile as Gul!
