The time has come gents to put your testes on the line and make a bold prediction for the third test in Perth. My prediction for Brisbane was spot on…..for the first three days then went Down Syndrome. Will Australia pull themselves out of the mire or will the Poms finish it all after three tests? Can Beer take wickets or will he crash and burn. Will Smith get some runs, or Ponting, or Hughes? Step right up and put your reputation on the line. I’m not just after a result, I mean a day by day account. A six pack to the man who is the closest…

I hope I owe you a six pack Lefty.
ReplyDeleteCoopers Pale OK?
I was going to put up two scenarios and ask what you all thought was more likely! Then I thought that wasn't really playing by the rules. England have played very well but Aus are not out of it yet. I still think we've got the bats to get 400 and bowlers to take 20 wickets. Like Merv said about Brisbane it wasn't all England's way.
ReplyDeleteSwan Lager would be great thanks Nos.
i hope you do too Nos.
ReplyDeleteregardless of whether think they can do it (which i doubt they do), it is more that England know they are good enough to beat us regardless.
Swan Lager? I don't know what that is, or where to get it.
ReplyDeleteLate prediction. Four man pace attack for the Aussies. Ponting wins the toss, and BOWLS!!!
ReplyDeleteSwan Lager is a WA beer. Well, not really beer. It's sort of like VB.
ReplyDeleteI hope they take 4 quicks in but unlikely considering they put Beer in. I just can't pin my hopes on this guy. It's not like he's been picked on a hunch where selectors have seen 'something' in him. He's barely played any cricket at all.
apart from the toss, winner so far!
ReplyDeleteTremlett for a bag... even before i knew he waas picked!
Stoph you are pretty much spot on.
ReplyDeletescary!
ReplyDeleteWell Lefty even though you were way off on the scores you were the only one who picked the result.
ReplyDeleteIt is for this reason that I reward you the six pack of ....choke ....cough....vomit....Swan Lager.
