Welcome to the MasterCard Pick N Win competition where the art of being a lounge room cricket expert meets the reality of
onfield action across all forms of the game – 3 Mobile Test, KFC Twenty20 and Commonwealth Bank One Day Series. This is the place where you can truly
gauge whether you know the ins and outs of international cricket and can weigh up the contributions of its headlining stars. Or whether you just talk
a very good game.
MasterCard Pick N Win is a new, exciting and interactive competition where you apply your cricketing nous to nominate the best performing players from
a series of match ups selected by cricketing legend Allan Border. Player performance is measured by the new cricket ranking system recently launched
by the Australian Cricketers‘ Association and endorsed by the players themselves, MasterCard Most Valuable Player (MVP). Read more about MasterCard
MVP .
Our AB will lay down the challenge of 15 carefully selected player match ups each week and you can participate in as many or as little as you like.
Each player in the match up will be awarded MasterCard MVP points based on their performance. You just need to work out who will perform best.
The MasterCard Pick N Win competition is based around the 2008-2009 Australian summer of cricket including both international and interstate
competitions with fantastic prizes to be won. You can go head-to-head with your mates, as well as take on our esteemed panel of MasterCard MVP experts
including Australian cricketing legends past and present – Ricky Ponting, Darren Lehmann, Ian Healy, Andrew Symonds and many more.
Show your mates you are the biggest cricket head and be crowned king of the MasterCard Pick N Win series.
Good luck!

– so his tips for the MasterCard Pick N Win will be worth their weight in gold.
Make sure you check in on AB’s Top Picks before submitting your picks each week, it could be the difference between watching the Npower Ashes series
