Thanks for the stats ...Hi Jack, Hugh and doubleMM,<br /><br />Thanks for the stats Jack. Hugh, you're right about corpuscles - I did notice that myself. Take your point about Matthew Chan. The format of UC means that the eye is naturally caught by the quickest players on the buzzer, and its often very difficult to see who is doing the hard graft in supplying the bulk of your bonuses. Take your point about Queens' and Peterhouse doubleMM, but I'm going to sit on the fence with this one, if you don't mind. <br /><br />DaveLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-45966207364649922512011-02-17T14:15:41.331-08:002011-02-17T14:15:41.331-08:00Even if this one was a bit one-sided I still enjoy...Even if this one was a bit one-sided I still enjoyed every minute! It's so impressive how early the Magdalen lads buzz in, and how many of their bonuses they convert. It's strange to think that they could have won by a greater margin had they *not* known as much (referring to Kyle's Philadelphia question).<br /><br />I can't see Queen's beating the Peterhouse team, but I shall have to wait and see.doublemmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426763913811714928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-88801568329274223952011-02-17T08:59:48.770-08:002011-02-17T08:59:48.770-08:00I'm glad we weren't in that match!

Very impressive indeed. <br /><br />Feel sorry for Christ's, they beat a tricky Edinburgh only to then have Oxford Brookes and Magdalen, all three having scored over 300 before. I have to think they'd have done better in the other half of the draw. <br /><br />Matthew Chan is in some ways disadvantaged by being on such a good team and therefore having a higher level of competition than most each match. He is an excellent quizzer as proven by his performances at various Oxford tournaments. My own personal excuse for not getting more than I did is that I had some quick players on my team.<br /><br />Also, am I right in thinking corpuscles has been the answer on successive Mastermind, BoB and UC episodes? I don't think I got in any of them.HughTubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159363601030942474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-28804395668107999952011-02-17T08:48:48.324-08:002011-02-17T08:48:48.324-08:00Oh dear, that was a bit of a whitewash! Still, at ...Oh dear, that was a bit of a whitewash! Still, at least Christ's got Fantastic Mr Fox!<br /><br />To be honest though, the match was over before it had evan began. When Magdalen lead 140-0, I think we all knew the winners.<br /><br />And, at last, Matthew Chan gets his first starter of the series! Well done to him, and to Will Cudmore, who got seven, upping his series total to 21. The side went 34/51 bonues with two penalties. Natasha Simonova got three for Christ's, finishing the series with a total of 14 over four games. The side made just 8/24 bonuses.<br /><br />To be honest, I think Christ's flattered to deceive, as they did so well in Round 1, and never really followed that up. Maybe it was just nerves. We'll never know.<br /><br />Well done to Magdalen, though. Surely, if they play like that next time, they'll be in the semis. Peterhouse vs Queens' next week. Should be a Peterhouse win unless Mark Jackson is on form. We'll see.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
