We invited a number of other cricket blogs to participate, however we only got to sending out the emails on Monday night (we need an intern or something), so we haven't had many responses. I'll give it a few more hours, to see if there are any late comers, before mentioning the other blogs and their predictions.

good predictions but as with most predictions you will find that there will be a few surprises. can we have more funny predictions as we have come to know from this blog
I'll try and come up with something. Obviously, for the purposes of the competition, we needed categories where we could get the results from the scorecard.
It's all very well having a category like "How many times will Bopara get hit in the head by bouncers?" (on the evidence of day 1: A LOT) but then I'd have to watch every over of every game and keep track of the numbers.
IE, waaaay too much work.
How about letting us non cricket bloggers, but avid cric-blog followers, in on this? I'd love to offer my predictions as well.
