[Mahir]

Mijan bhai, I know I will sound like making u do hard work while i sit n enjoy, but too bored in this rain delay, so here is my lame proposal : why dont you give us periodical updates of our earned points throughout the match from this prediction game of yours... i mean, each time anything is accomplished, you can provide us with a list of who got it right and their accumulative points i.e. toss, first inning score

[Tigers_eye]

Congrats "Sadi" for getting the highest point in the prediction game.
