It is game on.
Some very brave calls with expectations of a second innings by some and an expectation at capitulation by others
Sacha made a big call that he was to be replaced and it didn't happen (runs still count)
As Alex pointed out it looks to be 1 innings by the Aussies, but the game isn't over till its over.
I am sorry to say that I had to adjust your calculated guesses where others have previously selected the amount.
Rules same as previous rounds.
Totals are listed below and as always if there has been operator error I am prepared to be flogged
At Least Nazim won't be part of a split decision this time so he won't have an excuse for a sad face
Good luck to all but everyone is a winner overall

just for the record, i picked 11 aswell and got got bumped to 14...which is cool because thats the rules.
im still hoping australia may have to bat again and chase a small total, with marsh getting 3.........there goes ponting
Kudos goes to The Mad Hatter in 1st place as well as Fezzadog for a gallant try to sneak in to 11 as well.
Please both pm me you addresses so that I can send you both a prize.
Fezzadog can also relate to Nazim who believes that he was robbed in the Melbourne comp
Nazim has received a certificate of encouragement
All taken in good humour
Will announce shortly the specifics for the next comp
your a champion mate, my address is po box 158, walkerston, qld 4751, name troy thompson. it was a shame really we could have still been watching the cricket now.
Thanks again for the comp...it is good fun...though its a bit glum death-riding a batsman. To see Marsh, Kawaja and Hughes all fail this summer when there was so much potential (and them being the 'future') hasn't been fun. But hey, at least we have a positive, strong bowling attack now.
Adelaide is shaping up to be Marsh's swan-song, which is ironic because exactly 20 years ago, at Adelaide, Geoff Marsh ended his batting career.
Good luck with the 4th Test one and all. 3-0 gives me a HUGE smile.
