[Magic]

Finally just to say, the members are a mixture of well-known and less well-known I suppose but all were found having posted on the forum without too much struggle rather than me searching through the members' list.

 

[Leewilson]

Dare I say, I think we're done.

 

[Magic]

The second set of 7 coming up at 8.35pm. Same as before (the two rounds are separate so it's not a combined score).

Results will be up tomorrow.

 

[Magic]

Here we go.

 

[Spirederman]

Have to admit Magic, I was really expecting a picture of someone looking out over a field, with a 'Beware Llamas' sign next to him!!



Have you checked the query in our PM btw Majick??

 

[Magic]

Okay here are the results for game 1:

The answers were....

1) JimJams (All teams correct)
2) Richard Cranium (All teams correct)
3) Bentos (Gretzky, Kahn, Kournikova correct)
4) Ablur (Kournikova correct)
5) Cardsfan (All teams correct)
6) Paul Haddock (All teams correct)
7) Scarlet Royal (Gretzky, Tyson, Kournikova correct)

Scores:

1. Kournikova - 7/7 (5 points)
2. Gretzky - 6/7 (4 points)
3. Tyson - 5/7 (3 points)
4. Kahn - 5/7 (2 point)
5. Owens - 4/7 (1 point)

Interestingly Kournikova the last to answer but still secured top spot due to their accuracy. Tyson edged out Kahn for 3rd by answering quicker.

No absolute deadline for anyone who haven't submitted their answers for the second set yet.

Due to my work commitments etc, not really got time to prep anything for tomorrow so we have a bit of time...will be focusing in on the first test match between Pakistan and England - which starts next Tuesday (I believe!).

Magic, we have been discussing answers in the SB.

I think Rammy is going to cheat.

 

[Rammy]

Cricket ffs.

 

[HarvSFC]

Don't you mean Australia Vs England in the cricket, Magic?

 

[Leewilson]

Would never have got Bentos. Was convinced it was Veggie Legs, especially since the 3 looks like a sideways pair of legs.

 

[Veggie Legs]

We considered me for that one, I just couldn't see the legs bit. Surprised no one else got Ablur, I thought that was one of the easiest.

 

[Leewilson]

Didn't think of Ablur. We put Smudge, plus the fact it was blue and her Everton links made us think it had half a chance although we were never really sure.

 

[Magic]

Results coming at 6pm so last few hours to get your answers in if not already.

 

[Magic]

Sooo the answers for round two are:

1. T.A (all teams correct)
2. Christian Slater (Owens and Gretzky correct)
3. Whitechapel (all teams correct)
4. departed user (all teams correct)
5. Destruction (all teams correct)
6. GodsGift (Owens and Gretzky correct)
7. Jockney (Gretzky, Kahn and Tyson correct)

Scores:

1. Gretzky - 7/7 (5 points)
2. Owens - 6/7 (4 points)
3. Tyson - 5/7 (3 points)
4. Kahn - 5/7 (2 points)
5. Kournikova 4/7 (1 point)

Tyson submitted their answers quicker than Kahn did to secure 3rd place...so overall results of the game:

1. Gretzky (9 points)
=2. Kournikova (6 points)
=2. Tyson (6 points)
3. Owens (5 points)
4. Kahn (4 points)

With the cricket this week, there will be a number of scenarios and players that teams can choose from in order to win points. This will be explained and posted tomorrow and teams will then have until the start of play to send me what they choose. Gretzky hold a clear advantage as they can pick 9 of these, whereas Kahn will pick 4, but different scenarios will have different point rewards if they happen so there is still hope for other teams (similar to Munkiki's Prem game if I recall).

All will be explained though so do not fear!

 

[last request]

 

[Magic]

Okay so here are your point scoring scenarios:

Pakistan win = 7 points
England win = 10 points
Draw = 15 points

Pakistan win by an innings = 20 points
England win by an innings = 25 points

Pakistan to score 400+ in first innings = 5 points
Pakistan to score 250-399 in first innings = 7 points
Pakistan to score less than 250 in first innings = 10 points
England to score 400+ in first innings = 6 points
England to score 250-399 in first innings = 7 points
England to score less than 250 in first innings = 9 points

Individual players scoring...

1 point for every 10 runs scored (49 runs = 4 points)
2 points for every wicket taken
1 point for every catch taken
2 bonus points for a half-century
5 bonus points for a century
5 bonus points for taking five wickets in a single innings

10 points for accumulating the most runs in the test match
10 points for taking the most wickets in the test match

Teams can pick the same scenarios as each other but they will be sent to me privately so teams can't just copy each other etc.

Gretzky can pick 9 scenarios/players, Kournikova and Tyson 6, Owens 5 and Kahn 4. Pick wisely...do you hedge your bets or go all out?

I need all picks in by 7am tomorrow morning...but you may pick some reserve players in case some of your choices don't end up playing in the game...these will automatically be substituted in if necessary.

 

[Magic]

So for example if you have 4 picks you might choose:

Draw
England to score 400+ in first innings
Alastair Cook
Adil Rashid

 

[Magic]

Teams' picks

Team Gretzky

Hafeez
Malik
Khan
Ul-Haq
Baba
Rashid
Moeen Ali
Root
Anderson

Team Kournikova

Draw
Root
Riaz
Ahmed
Khan
Moeen Ali

Team Tyson

Pakistan win
Pakistan to score 400+ in first innings
Root
Ul-Haq
Babar
Riaz

Team Owens

England win
Pakistan to score between 250-399
England to score between 250-399
Khan
Broad

Team Kahn

Pakistan to score between 250-399
Root
Cook
Moeen Ali

Good luck everyone!

 

[hodge]

Gretsky and Tyson can feel hard done by there

 

[hodge]

Originally given not out on a caught behind, reviewed by England and on the basis of a small noise and the video only no snicko or hot spot it was overturned, despite imo a lack of conclusive evidence.

 

[Magic]

Well it's a batting paradise out there at the moment...

 

[Spirederman]

23 (25 if each half century gains a bonus) points from Cook, and still going strong.
3 from Ali
Root just starting out...

Good day for Kahn.

 

[Magic]

Yeah just to say, you only get bonus points for reaching 50 or 100, you don't keep accumulating them. Looks like the pitch has made it a game you want to have batsmen on your side in!

 

[Rammy]

[Spirederman]

I make it:

View attachment 1951

You haven't included Cook's half century bonus points Dave.

I know anything above 100 you don't get them as Magic has said, but still think the half century and century points apply as he's passed both milestones... Ergo Malik for yourselves should have more as well.

 

[hodge]

Not the way I've found it works in various fantasy cricket games etc, he got 100+, so would get the bonus points for hitting the hundred.

 

[Rammy]

This isn't one of your crap fantasy cricket games.

 

[Magic]

I did it as in cricket stats...Ie. you don't get a half century and a century if you reach 100 so that's as I'm scoring it. Same for everyone.
