Be Righter Than Mr. Wright

[Mister Wright]

During the summer I'm going to post a statement at the start of each match (worth 5 points) and then the start of each day (worth one point). Basically I'll ask pose a statement which will be a prediction. If you match me and we get it right you get one point, but if we get it wrong you'll lose 0 points. However if you go against me and you get it right you'll get two points, but if you get it wrong you'll lose two points. The same goes for match statements which are worth 5 points.

For eg.

First test Challenge:

An Australian batsman will have a higher individual score than a South African batsman.

Mr. Wright says no.

Ponting scores 134 in the first innings and Smith Scores 129 in the second innings. They are the highest scores by individual batsmen in for the match. All those that said no with Mr. Wright will get 0 points. All those that said yes (against Mr. Wright) will get 5 points.

Day Challenge:

The toss will turn up heads.

Mr. Wright says yes.

the toss turns up heads.

Those that said yes with Mr. Wright get 1 point each, those that went against Mr. Wright (Tails) get -2 added to their score.

I hope that is as clear as mud for you.

You can join at any point in the summer, but you will join the person with the lowest score. I'll keep a tally and keep it as updated as possible.
