India beat the Netherlands by 5 wickets but according to the commentary it was more of a Netherlands loss than an Indian win. They went in as huge favorites but had a shoddy performance. The Netherlands batted first and put up a measly 189, no one really stood out for their batting except maybe Zuiderent who went out for a duck, -10 if you had him. It took India 36 overs to polish off the 189 with the highest numbers coming from Yuvraj Singh, he got a half century. So 2 points to India and they are currently at the top of the leader board for group B.
James in the lead blah, blah, blah. But look, Bob is on the move. In fact he was doing some boasting today and apparently will have a full set of Sri Lankans for tomorrows match - watch out James. But Bob should double check his rear-view mirror every now and again cause Katy S is only 42 points behind. Can you smell her? If we had a worm I am sure it would be very tense for Bob to see how that line is just closing in.......... Anna and Suresh are also continuing to climb so no one should feel to comfortable in their places. Except maybe Kathy who is graciously keeping an eye on our collective rears.
Next match, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Wouldn't it be fun if Zimbabwe surprised Bob with their first win of the tournament?
This just in, James made it to 94th place in the Global competition. If you want to show his name to your neighbor so that you can gloat that you know him.......hit the "home" button on the fantasy site - this takes you to the main page where you log in. Then in the top left corner you see a green box that says Top Managers. At the bottom of that box click on "more", select World Cup 2011 from the Current Global Competitions drop down menu. Scroll down to #94, see James, curse that its not you, call a friend and gloat, explain for 10 minutes what cricket is and why they should care, hang up feeling frustrated that they weren't as impressed as they should be, come back here and leave a comment.

Thanks for the shout out Katy. Bob may be on the move but in which direction is the question.It will take more than a bunch of Sri Lankins to pick the Lupine.
ReplyDeleteWhat none of you realize is, it's the END GAME that counts.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there are a lot of END GAME comments that could be made.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go get some Fuddruckers.
ReplyDeletehahahaha..........
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, James! As I would say to my students 'James is to be commended on his perseverance and motivation'. I will not say 'Keep up the good work' though. I am with Missy about the END GAME. Anna seems to have a strategy but I can't work out what it is. Thanks for the worm Michael - it is really good to be able to see in technicolour how badly I am doing.
ReplyDeleteJa, no, James really does have to be congratulated, if only because he belongs to us and so he is covering the rest of us in glory. Congrats, therefore, James. As for end game, does anyone know when that's going to be, so that I can get ready for it?
