Australia vs Pakistan TEST FL

[meninblue]

I am not at all interested in Mars bar or 8th spot
You may fight and win it. If Shanky was participating he may have given you company for 8th spot or even wooden spoon

Would rather like to win the FL.

Rich is in the lead after the first test and Adi again won't be happy with the mars bar.
Would say everyone above braveneutral is still in contention for the title.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Poor Adi.

Cheers Bhaves.

[braveneutral]

BN included?

BN included?

Very precise anticipation of future scoring if not...

I did think that. Phew.

[alfie]

Maybe everyone above Arthur ?

I mean Yuppie is only 17 adrift of you , BN ...

But perhaps Bhaves knows something

[braveneutral]

You're flying high alfie,

I did feel for yuppie.

Hazlewood going wicketless in that second innings has not been good for me (picked him over Starc, on a hunch). I was doing ok until that point

Oh well, two tests to go. Plenty to play for

What's the Mars Bar comment about? I don't do these fantasy leagues often, so am not up on the in-jokes, sorry.

[braveneutral]

8th place being the new 1st is behind the Kars bar comment.

It's like something the teacher might do to encourage those that have no hope of finishing top. A minor, tokenistic prize so not only the winners are rewarded.

Thanks very much. Way to shatter my illusions.


I suppose I will have to change my sig line now.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Your savoir-faire always makes you a winner GJ.

Lol. Reminds me of the pub quiz I sometimes do, where there are prizes for first, second and second-last. The idea being that a prize for last would encourage people to deliberately tank, while second last is hard to manipulate.

[braveneutral]

Hold on. Coming 8th is a glorious thing. The Mars bar is just a newer addition to glorify the achievement further. As we all know it is easy enough to win. Selecting for 8th is a skill.
