Journalism contest - Round 2 - "Cricket: A batsmans' game?"

[Simbazz]

How about "Does the camaraderie that exists between the Australian and English teams add to or detract from the series as a contest?"

Yeah, that sounds much more professional, could that be included? Im going to have a crack at this, sounds like fun!

Yeah I like the sound of that topic and have a few ideas for an introduction. It'll definitely be in the poll

 

[barmyarmy]

Poll is up. I've shortened the final question for the purposes of the poll as it was too long to fit in!
Poll will be open for about a week.

 

[barmyarmy]

Only 6 votes on this atm and time running out.

What will happen if two subjects are tied on the same amount of votes when the poll closes?

 

[barmyarmy]

Then I'll dispense with democracy and pick one.

 

[puddleduck]

I've rather cheekily voted for something that I pretty much wrote a thesis for in the Eng v Aus thread

 

[barmyarmy]

Looks like Jones v Read is our winner. An article on the topic to be submitted to me via e-mail colin @ planetcricket.org (without the spaces) by next sunday night.
Approx 750 words, please don't go over 1000. The title is quite flexible so you can bend it however you want. Sadly I doubt I'll be able to write one this time but I will try to submit one next time (you never know though )
Good luck to everyone and the contest is now open.


N.B. - please don't post your article in this thread as judging it meant to be anonymous

A word of warning for mine; I'm swamped with English Media, Product Design, History and Science coursework so my entry will be a little ring-rusty.

Hopefully you'll forgive me for prioritising my schoolwork.

 

[Skater]

I have the introduction written already. I will prioritise schoolwork too but I will try and do a paragraph or so each evening.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm going to extend this by a week...

 

[The Spin]

Thats good, I was struggling to write it with school work, but should get an entry in now
