Well, if I'm going to do this, let's do it right. My bet; KP won't score a ton in this series. Any takers?

lol, how did ginger get banned?

My bet for any Pom goes by each toss. If Aus wins the toss I choose your avatar till the next toss and vice versa over the length of the series.
Gave Scaly quite the mouthful, footy thread.

Johnson will end up with a better bowling average (or more wickets - either or...) than Swann - 2 months - English only (if either player is injured - and cannot take part in at least 3 games - deals off)
Any takers?

How about:
2 points per test win
1 point for whichever country has the most centurions (over the series)
1 point for whichever country has the highest wicket taker (over the series)
1 point for series win
.5 for Highest scorer each match
.5 highest wicket taker each match

More skill related instead of byes etc. Do like the duration stipulation.

EDIT or alternatively, just a straight up Whoever wins/retains bet.
Right then - me vs GF
no points for the draw
Furball takes an early 3-2 lead for the centurions point.
Evens in the highest wicket stakes (be surprised if Siddle or Finn end up with the most tbh)
.5 to furball for highest scorer in match (Cook)
.5 each for highest wicket taker in match (Finn and Siddle)

Furball: 1.0
Ripper: 0.5

ripper, are we going for match figures or innings figures when we're deciding top run scorer and wicket takers in a match?

Probably on innings scores for the batters - bit unfair for your lot if Hussey get's a second dig and overtakes KP's total.
Match Figures for the bowlers.

Sound sweet?

Looking good in the leading wicket-taker stakes, with Finn, Anderson and Swann all at the top.
.5 for highest run scorer (Pietersen)
.5 for top wicket taker (Swann)

Furball 4
