Ponting, the Golden Duck of Cricket!

Sorry to all you Ponting fanatics, I for one stay clear of the man. -10 points for the golden duck are bad enough but if he was your captain......OUCH! I know Katy S's Bubble Gum team had him but they also carried Gayle and he racked up 6 4's and 6 6's, so that helped soften the blow. You were also bummed if you were counting on Australia's Michael Clark who did nothing, or Brett Lee who conceded some insane number of runs (mostly to Gayle). Other players of note for the day: Yuvraj Singh had a huge strike rate (227.77) as he hit 41 runs from only 18 balls! And Yuvraj didn't do to bad in the field either. Hart's Gas is happy that he's their captain! Gambhir scored a half century and if you were lucky enough to have Ojha as a bowler (I know Norm did - well done Norm) he earned an econ rate of 5.25 and had a whopping 4 wickets! Not to be forgotten was the performance by Scotland's captain, Watson who had a strike rate of 270 hitting 6 4's.

So, to recap, India beat Bangladesh by 25 runs, The Windies ousted Australia by 7 wickets, and in a backyard 7 aside 7 over match New Zealand sent Scotland home early for dinner.

I am still in the lead with my husband and Mom hot on my heels, Team Jimminy and Hart's Gas are not far off the mark. Blair's Bombers made great strides as did the Flying Toasters. I guess you really don't have to know much to play this game.

Hang in there everyone, it is only the beginning with lots more cricket to be played. Tomorrow we will see if England can come back from their embarrassing start and beat Pakistan, while South Africa will make their first show against Scotland (I sure hope they took notes during the England/Netherladns game!)

Michael should be posting a worm soon. Enjoy!

We Need a Worm

Ok, so we are getting the worm going but we neglected to record the scores after Fridays matches. If you remember what your score was please let me know in the comments. Thanks.
