2013 Boxing Day Test competition - guess the total of the Australian side for the Test

[pineneedlebeetle]

Hi folks,

up for grabs is a full set of 1934 players Cricket cards. A very nice set of cards.

As the title suggests how many runs in total will the Australian side make in the test at the MCG, this is the total runs scored by the Australians in the Test (whether they bat for 1 or both innings it is the total which matters). This is certain to generate some furious guesswork as we don't know who will win the toss, who make a brave call and say the Aussies will bat twice (sorry Alex, however am happy to post to the UK if you win). I will be at the G on Day 2 to cheer them on (look for me in the crowd as I will be wearing an Aussie top).

Competition closes at the toss of the coin on the 1st day.

Terms and conditions as per previous years comps with only 1 person able to sit on a given number, so 1st in best dressed. My decision is final given and I reserve the right to stir up Naz
at any point in time. (given the dramas of a couple of years ago he hasn't let me forget that he was robbed due to going to the 3rd umpire for a judgement LOL) Sorry Naz but it makes for good sport.

Sample pics of the prize are attached (not the exact cards but give you an idea of what you get).

Happy guessing and hurry up or someone may take your number.

Cheers Russell

638 & thanks for the Competition Russell

P.S I assume the #35 Ben Barnett & #12 Jack Hobbs cards are the 'common' cards and not the error cards that were released with this issue!

Hi Luke,

It makes it interesting and the winner gets a nice set of cards.
Good luck.
Still waiting to see what Naz is going to pick LOL

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN .... I AM BOYCOTTING THIS "RIGGED" COMPETITION. Unless Russell sends me a prize equivalent to the one he robbed me of last time alongwith a heartfelt written APOLOGY and some cash wouldn't go astray either .... I have seen a lovely set of 1934 players Cricket cards on ebay I'd like to buy

Hi Naz,

great to hear from you mate.
I apologise for the fact that you guessed wrong the last time LOL.
I promise to send something at the end of the competition as long as you have an educated guess.
P.s. you can get cards cheaper from me than ebay or I'll swap some of your dodgy cards.
Love your cards Naz, they are sensational in hand.

regards Russell

I did not guess wrong, I was ROBBED darn it!

Of course my cards are dodgy - they've been in your hands (you've dodged them right up). You better hope I don't spot you on the telly at the "G". If I do, I'm posting up a screen cap of your mug all over ozcardtrader, so people will know who's the dodgiest of them all.

Seriously though mate, must we fight every time you put up a competition? Why can't we just get along man? Oh wait, I know why, 'coz I was ROBBED darn it!

By the way, when are you and Raj making that long promised road trip? It would be great to see you blokes again. If I remember correctly, last time we caught up, Raj and I spent most of the evening picking on you and you kept smiling at us politely because you've been raised right and don't believe in strangling your guests ... aah ... good times! Actually it was Raj who kept picking on you, I was just politely watching it all unfold
