I'm in...

Would like to say something though, I think it would be a nice if people can explain their predictions.

For example what the team winning the toss is likely to do, why you back a certain bowler or batsman over others in for a particular game, I think it would allow some decent discussion.

I fully expect to be laughably hilariously **** at this, as I am with all prediction contests.

Although in theory this is a good idea, there is a full forum to discuss the games, and it would make it a real nightmare for me to keep track of everything if the threads had discussions in!

Might as well keep the discussions to this thread.

As for why I did what I did, I did what I did because I wanted to do what I wanted to do.

M'afraid I will be withdrawing from the game Marc. Playing too many, and I've made a rubbish start anyway.

Any chance we can have the scoring system in each OP?

This might be the first and last time I ever lead a tipping / prediction competition ever.

Decent start...though squandered after game 2.

Whole tournament - it's great to see continued support after the first game, seems even more than last time it ran.
