No post Saturday - it was date night. We had a lovely time, thanks for asking.
Saturday: England beat New Zealand and Sri Lanka took the West Indies.
Sunday: South Africa v. Australia. South Africa batted first and did not look good. Seems they can't handle the Dohertys spin and he took 3 quick wickets. Levi went out for a duck (I had him), Kallis only got 6. Watson also got 2 wickets and help keep SA to 146 runs. When Australia went in to bat they didn't have to try to hard. Watson got 70 runs and along with Hussey they carried Australia to an easy win with 8 wickets and 14 balls remaining.
Pakistan v. India. Pakistan batted first and went all out after 19.4 overs. They only managed 128 runs. The ghost player Balaji took 3 wickets and there were two a piece for Ashwin and Yuvraj. Once India went in Gambhir went out for a duck (I had him) but then Yuvraj continued his good game with a bunch of runs to add to Kohlis 78 giving India an easy victory with 8 wickets and 18 balls remaining.
Us: James is still in the lead - how does he do that? But I am gaining on him despite some of my poor choices today. Bazinga seems to be bazunk and needs to rethink their pivot. The middle order is, well, still the middle order without much change. There is big news in the bottom pack as Missy is comfortably out of last place! Do you think James took pity on his poor old mother and shared his pivot? Doubtful, but it does raise questions.
Tomorrow the Super Eights continue everyone has played 2 matches with one more to go. Sri Lanka and Australia look good to go through to the next round but its not set in stone. New Zealand needs to win and have England lose, The West Indies need to win and have England lose. England needs to win and have someone else lose. And then it all depends on the net run rate. Cause if you lose but not to badly that could be good but if you win but not by much that could be bad............oooh hell, I can't keep it all straight. 4 teams will progress - shout for whomever you wish.

Haven't heard one whiff from James. I did it on my own. We're winners remember.
