Discovered During a Test Match

Well, the Ashes are long over - huzzah for England! - and there is no more bizarre but strangely compelling commentary on the airwaves, so our challenge is over too... There was a rush of competition early on, but the final batting scores are:

tears_of_nienna - not out for 13
kiwisue - not out for 7
sunray45 - extra man - not out for 4
greengerbil - not out for 3
probodie - not out for 2
callistosh65 - not out for 2
byslantedlight - not out for 2
heliophile_oxon - out for a duck, but we adore her and her fic anyway... *g*
jaycat - LBW, but in very nice form... *g*

No, I don't really know what I'm talking about either (*g*) but isn't that half the fun of cricket? In any case - tears_of_nienna is very clearly our finest batsman, and as promised there will be a prize winging it's way to you... if you drop me an email at slantedlight at google maildot com... *g*

Thank you everyone who played our very lazy Pros-y game of cricket - all entries will be archived via the user info page, as usual! For now though, a very (very) short breather before our next challenge...

Discovered on a Bank Holiday

Ah, le weekend - and even better, le loooong weekend! Three whole days off, one final hurrah before the summer is over and we're meandering gently into autumn...

To celebrate, and to keep us going through September, we are (of course! *g*) offering a challenge - we'd like you to tell us your version of what the lads might get up to on the August Bank Holiday.

Of course there's a twist - we'd like to know what they get up to on the Bank Holiday, but just on the Bank Holiday - from midnight Monday morning to midnight Monday night, Bank Holiday Monday only... Just one day in the life of the lads...

Of course a lot can happen in 24 hours...

There are prompts for anyone who'd like one - if you would, then please comment below - and if you'd like to take part without a prompt, well as always that's fine too, though it would be nice to hear from you as well so we know what we might be looking forward to!

Posting for the challenge opens right now and closes at midnight on 30th September 2009 - somewhere in the world... *g*
