England knocks out India

A bit of a shocker to see India go out at this stage but it helps us all, trust me. Michael had Doni as his captain and now faces the decision of trading for a new one or going without. What will he do??? As the tournament progresses flexibility in trades becomes more crucial just at a time when your number of trades is probably dwindling. This is of course unless you took Lynda's strategy: do nothing until now and then have 60 trades for the last 6 matches!! So, India may be out but England still has work to do to get themselves through. Tomorrow they take on the West Indies and whoever wins will advance along with South Africa.

In the other match today Sri Lanka beat Ireland to seal their move into the semis.

In our little competition we seem to have three main groups forming. but look out for folks looking to move on up. Michael is HOT on my heels, Arvinder just jumped from the bottom pack to the middle pack, Paul is looking to do the same. There is a seriously heated ado for 3rd between Moira, Anna, Kathy, and Henry - please no hair pulling. How will this all shake out?? I don't know but I can't wait to find out.

  1. Oi! We now have to preserve our trades for later. Teams are falling out of the competition at this stage - need to make lots of changes. Question is - how many should we keep until the last stage and is it better to trade now to get maximum points?? Doesn't matter in my case - can't get them right anyway. Did I have Luke Wright? Yes, I did. And did he go out for 6 runs? Yes, he did. Lynda has 60 trades left?? Wow!
