Yes that must be right, since if no play was possible the number of runs scored in the day would be 0 so the prediction closest to 0 would have to be the winner.

A reminder that the current competition closes at 10:00 on Saturday morning, so for anyone who wants to enter there are just under 10 hours remaining in which you can do so.

It's now 10:00 and the cricket competition is therefore closed. Thanks to all those who entered.

The winner of the cricket competition is Charlemagne who predicted that 239 runs would be scored today in the England-Sri Lanka test match and was only 1 run out from the 240 runs that were scored.

An honourable mention goes to Gold Plated Pension who was the runner up in this competition with a prediction of 227 runs and as he won the last competition he wasn't far away from a weekend double.

Charlemagne's prize for winning is a free pass for Shebang TV either tonight (with Nikita Devine and Lucy B) or tomorrow (with Amanda Rendall and Alexandra).

Won something at last....

I spent a long time working out how many they would score... then I threw the calculations away and just guessed like everyone else.

Thanks for running the competition Admin and Shebang

Good news - another free pass is up for grabs for this weekend for Shebang TV on Saturday 4 June (with Emily B and Stacey Lacey) or on Sunday 5 June (with Lucy B and Alexandra).

To enter this time you need to submit a Formula 1 driver from the current year's driver rankings and the highest ranked driver chosen uniquely will be the winning entry. In other words if you submit Sebastian Vettel and nobody else submits him you'll be the winner, as no other choice could beat you, but if someone else chooses Sebastian Vettel as well your choice won't be unique and you accordingly won't win. If there are no unique choices the highest ranked Formula 1 driver with only 2 submissions will be the winning choice and so on until a winning driver is found. In such cases we will organise a tiebreak to decide on which member has made the winning submission.

If you want to enter then PM your chosen driver to the same account as used previously: 50000.

The competition will close at 8:00 in the evening on Thursday (2 June). Good luck to anyone who enters.

To save everyone having to look it up, here are this year's current Formula 1 driver rankings:

1. Sebastian Vettel
2. Lewis Hamilton
3. Mark Webber
4. Jenson Button
5. Fernando Alonso
6. Nick Heidfeld
7. Nico Rosberg
8. Felipe Massa
9. Vitaly Petrov
10. Kamui Kobayashi
11. Michael Schumacher
12. Adrian Sutil
13. Sebastien Buemi
14. Rubens Barrichello
15. Sergio Perez
16. Paul di Resta

The above list is point scorers only, i.e. the other 8 drivers currently in Formula 1 have not scored any points so far this year and are excluded from the list. Only drivers from the above list can be submitted.

Good Luck to everyone

That was a very good guess I must say, seeing as you were only 1 run out. Well guessed Charlemagne!
