25 Questions - Ashes Comp 2010/2011

[Cousin Jed]

Yes it's back again. After the 2009 version (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=598618) was such a success, we have brushed off the questions, given a few of them a makeover and below are the 25 questions for this year.

Rules are simple. Copy the questions into your post, put your answer next to it (preferably in a different colour and bolded to make it easy to read for me). All answers require yes or no, a number, a country or a player's name.

For 3 of your answers, put an * next to them and that is worth double points.

Winner is the person with the most points. If there is a tie, we defer to the tiebreaker question and the person closest. If any of the answers to questions 7 -13 are a tie I will pay both answers so no need to put a tie down.

Entries close at 9:30am AEDT on the 25th November 2010 (that's the morning of the first day of the first test). Any entries which are listed as being edited after then will be ruled invalid.

I'll raid Chief's prize cupboard and see what we can rustle up this year. Good Luck :thumbsu:
