The Ashes, Australia V England-Spector Training

[almitywife]

calliing all CRICKET FANS

i know youre all getting excited about the idea of the Ashes down under so i thought i would put all of us spectors into training with a quiz challange

so - i have a spiffy new book with all the questions and you guys have to come up with the answers

when someone answers correctly - they have to nominate their country (the aussies or the poms) so we can keep a running score and i will keep asking the questions.

IF we can keep this going to day 1 of the First test we will declare a winner!

so an easy one to start with first question

Q: Who was the curator who ordered the watering of the Melbourne Cricket Ground wicket during the rest day of the Third Test of the 1954-1955 series???

Current Score:
Australia: 0
England: 0

Who cares?....the important thing is we beat you! Sneaky Aussie curators or not, it didn't do you any good!!!!

By the way....if this thread is going to work you'll probably need Tassie to help - if he's managed to get over the last go round......

No problem....you'd better score 50 or so already...save me making the posts! Let's face it....you got beat in the real world....not in some Aussie rules internet game!!! Why should I care?

Oh wait....after a while you can't edit your own posts now can you?

As it happened though, you broke your own rules as my comment wasn't about the last series....it was about the one in the question. Now you mention it though...yes you're right...we won the last one too!

and yet - you still cant answer my Ashes' question

I would just like to take a moment to state, The Windies will win the ICC World Cup in 2007. Gotta love homefield advantage and all that.


Also got to add this in,

Boooo Australia
