Pakistan (or should I say Afridi) knocked South Africa out!! An unexpected outcome today as South Africa had been undefeated and was arguably the favorite to win the tournament. And Afridi was definately the man of the match performing both with his batting (51 runs) and his bowling (2 wickets). Kallis tried damn hard to catch up (64 runs) but after that a bunch of wickets fell and Pakistan's bowling wasn't giving up any boundaries leaving South Africa short 7 runs. This made me happy - only because I know a lot of you had South African captains and now you, like me, are without!
with everyone's teams pretty similar it came down to small differences and minor nudging in the worm. Arvinder has bumped Anna from 3rd - can she come back? there was much jostling in the 5-10 positions and Sandeep seems to have settled into last place. Two more games, make your moves, time is running out.

Yay! I have gone up one position - how exciting is that. I had lots of runs but also lots of ducks yesterday - as did everyone else I guess. Good luck for the final, everyone.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Good luck all! I've got three changes left, so no chance of picking a winning captain. But at least I've got only Pakistan and Sri Lankan players in my team. Some might call that a fluke but I say that it's a high order of skill.
