Yesssssssssss......this is going to be a tight one again (Shut up, Bill we are talking about the game)
The weather again has played a big part:
** The Poms complaining about the approaching darkness & cold
** The Aussies complaining about La Nina which brings rain for farmers but no wind
But the Poms are up 2-0 in the series, so the pressure is on.
One last weekend til game 3 finishes.
GAME ON
Could you please reiterate (for those of us who can't find it in the forum) how the scoring for the ashes works?
...or provide a link...
Thanks
ASHES SCORING;
The 2 best Team scores in each of the 6 categories ( of the Countries Teams in that Series ) are added all together.
Extras are added to the above score. ( Which are Pb's )
One extra (Pb) = 5 points.
All Pb's are counted in each team that are sailing in that series.
One Sailor can only get one Pb in each of the 6 categories per Series. MAX 6 Pb's per Sailor

WK SPEED WARRIORS 7 Pbs
THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL COUNT FOR PBS ( EXTRAS ) FOR SERIES 3.
Well in the series I think we are 2 for UK and 1 for Aus so its not like we have actually won the series. But I did think the century by Ben and Mark on the Sunday was pretty amazing (plus the PBs). If only Obelix could have claimed all 18 of his !
I suppose its cricket so a polite round of applause and "well done chaps" in a toffy nosed voice is what is required
