Are you ready for the semis??

I didn't see either game today - baby stuff but looking at the results: South Africa beat India, not that they needed to and have claimed the E1 spot. This leaves West Indies in the E2 spot. Also, New Zealand came up short against Sri Lanka, apparently they have some crazy new bowling styles that no one can figure out. So, Sri Lanka move on in the F1 spot and Pakistan is F2. That means our first semi final match will be SA vs. Pak on Thursday, sorry no cricket tomorrow. This will give everyone some time to cool off, regroup, and gather their strength for the final push. Michael has suggested that with so many trades floating around everyone is going to end up with the same basic team......if so the standings won't change. Find someway to distinguish yourself people!! Pick that E bowler from Ireland, no wait that won't help. OK, an F batsman from the West Indies that you just know is going to peak someday. Or how about making a captaincy trade to capitalize on their double points, or you could do nothing and hope for the best. Just some suggestions to ponder on our day off.

Michael is working on the worm, looks like a few slight changes from yesterday. Study it carefully, determine who your biggest competition is and then taunt them mercilessly here in the comments section. Since there is no cricket tomorrow you all should have plenty of time to comment. Does anyone read this thing??? OK, enough of my babbling.....

  1. Of course I read it. It is the first thing I do in the morning. It has been hugely entertaining - I just wish we would hear from the other good folk in the competition. I would taunt if I thought I had a chance - how come I just stay in the same position?? I agree that we are all going to end up choosing the same players at the end and all move up in a body. Maybe I can find an obscure Gul somewhere. Come on, everyone, let's show Katy and Michael we appreciate their blogs and worms - three cheers please! Thanks, guys.

  2. Hey Katy,

    Sliding down a banister, landing on a cactus, we think Katy needs more practice. As for your bowlers, I've seen better arms on Venus d'Milo. I blow my nose in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries. Jingle bells, jingle bells,
    Jingle all the way;
    Oh what fun it is to see
    the Michael win the day.
    You haven't even got any goals yet!

  5. Wow, the battle lines are forming.
    I could so sabotage Katy and Norman. They are calling in their moves from the wilds of Montana. Should I? Should I?
    As for my team, as Catherine said, I get points but my place just doesn't change. But just wait!!! The Dusters have an ace up our sleeves and shell blow you all away in the coming days. So take that!!!
