Last time my predictions went quite well, lets try it again.
Who do you think:
* Will take the most wickets for the West Indies?
* Will Steve Waugh play?
* Predict how Matt Hayden will get out?
* Which team will win the toss and what will the choose to do?
* What day will the Test Match be over?
* What do you think the approx. crowd figure will be on the opening day (In thousands)
And my predictions:
~ Merv. Dillon
~ Yes, he'll announce he's fit to play
~ Caught 1st Innings, lbw 2nd Innings
~ West Indies - Bowl
~ Day 5, First Session (again)
~ 61,000

Damn!!! I was shafted with my predictions cause Black was 12th man and I didn't know untill yesterday when I was sitting there and he walked past holding drinks!! Bloddy hell, but it was a great day, nice weather, but once Gilly went out it got a bit boring for a while but it picked up again so that was alright.

And the answers were:
~ Merv. Dillon (5 Wickets)
~ Yes
~ Caught in both Innings
~ West Indies - Bowl
~ Day 4
~ 73 233
Ok, not too bad. I was right on Dillon getting the most wickets, Hayden being caught in at least one innings, Steve Waugh would play and that the West Indies would win the toss and choose to bowl.
Just a little off on the final day of play and the crowd figure (well the series was already won and last year the crowd wasn't that big)
