Maybe I should have stuck to my hunch

Ironic moment - Root gets rested for Carberry yet Root has scored more points than Carbs in this match so far

As Steve Waugh might say to you, if you were Herschelle Gibbs, "You've just dropped the DS Ashes 13/14 Prediction Game Cup..."

You're not Herschelle Gibbs are you?

In case anybody is interested, the 'Most series catches' is warming up nicely...

Bailey 7
Smith 6
Cook 6
Anderson 6
Lyon 5
Clarke 5
Carberry 5

No one has Bailey in the comp. sneaky feeling that Cook may snaffle a couple in the 2nd innings (assuming we don't follow on)

He's scored more than a few of them..

At least Watson is bowling....

Bailey 8
Smith 7
Cook 7
Anderson 6
Clarke 6
Lyon 5
Carberry 5

after day 2..

Result

Australia 1st inns 20
England 1st inns 9
Australia 2nd inns. 18
England 2nd inns. 8
Total 55

Well done

I will put the full result up at lunchtime

Also, I will be doing a new comp for the ODI's
Anyone have any thoughts on the way I do the scoring ?
I've had a couple of comments that it's too complicated with the bonuses.
Let me know if you have any

I messaged you with my thoughts so I'll make them public too mate

I think we have a tendency to over complicate things at times

My suggestion

1 point per run
10 points per wicket
5 points per catch

Simple as that
