Hi Minky

It means any successful referral irrespective of which way it goes (in effect when an Umpire's decision is overturned)

I assume that means your prediction is 30 ?

Hi dtc,

Indeed it does. Cheers.

Sorry, don't know what happened with my 100s prediction.

Can I change it please?

It should be:

How many 100's: 14
