I Cry Foul

Do they have fouls in Cricket? If they don't they should. I KNOW I changed my team in preparation for today's game but I just looked and its the same team as from the day before.........huh? I guess I didn't confirm the change or something. But wait, I know I did because I always write down my team from the green "your current team" box.....hmmmm......... anyway, no points for me today. I guess that just leaves me extra trades for the final. Watch out James here I come.

So today Sri Lanka knocked Pakistan out of the tournament. It didn't seem to be all that exciting of a game but admittedly I did not watch it. Sri Lanka opened strong with the pair of Jayawardene earning 42 and Dilshan 35 but then things became a little lackluster and they only got to 139 for Pakistan to chase - should have been doable for them. Hafeez and Nazir came out strong but then it just all went to pot. They lost by 16 runs.

Personally I was hoping Pakistan would advance - really it would be easier to field of team of Pakistanis because they have fewer A and B players. But, ooh well somehow we will manage. And truth be told I am mostly banking on Australia, if they lose tomorrow I am toast, stick a fork in me I will be done. But if they win, hope is alive. So, go AUSTRALIA!!! They are playing the West Indies who have yet to do anything super impressive.

I will try my hardest to get a worm out of Michael tonight, I mean we need to know where we are right?

  1. I for one am routing for Australia. I won't have to change my captain and have enough trades to have a complete team playing. GO AUSTRALIA!!
    No hope of winning but I'm just happy to be in the middle after my "last bench" warning for too long.

  2. I thought you were just saving your meager trades for the final.
    I'm hoping for Australia to lose - that may be my only way to overtake Katy.

  3. Oh good! I stayed at number 11. I thought I would go down to number 25. There isn't a number 25 you say? What a shame. But I am pleased to see that I have moved up to 1103 in the overall game rankings - how fabulous!!! Anyway, it seems to be getting exciting up neat the top - go James, Katy and Anna - may the best team win. Watched a bit of yesterday's game - as you say, nothing to get excited about except for the very intense Sri Lanka fielding. Also hoping Australia get through today.
