Australia win the toss and bat

Starc , Warner and Lyon in for Pattinson , Hughes and Agar.

England unchanged

fab did pick, look up two posts

Some people have gone really high...
200+ in a 2 hour session(2 1/2 at most)

Rain could see the sessions getting extended, wouldn't be surprised if we get 35 + 40 over afternoon session. Although 200 + being very unlikely with 170 being possible.

Cheers Darren

Didn't notice.

Just got into work so will amend when I get home

You shouldn't criticise others selections. Their choice ( me included ) and we shall see

I wasn't criticizing, just giving a reason why some people would give high numbers, I would say Darren you are a bit unlucky with Bazzaroo beating your bonus, with the rain being around, it is an advantage to predict the highest bonus.

if it rains, 98 overs gets played, poor overrates means teams could bowl 38-45 overs in the last session, If Pieterson is batting anything is possible, dhoni scored 120 runs on the last hour when he whacked Lyon out of the park in the chennai test.

Mine was an observation rather than a criticism

With those smileys ??

poor overrates means that 37 overs has to be bowled in the last session, or if 6.30 comes first.

Criticise? There was absolutely nothing to have a go at them, Bhavesh especially, for there. If anything he was backing up your prediction.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with what tso said either. I was a bit surprised some people went so high too.

It was the stick out tongue smiley and the confused one too.

I thought the unwritten rule of prediction comps was dont criticise other peoples posts.

Sorry Fab , missed you off
