Well today held some excitement. The West Indies beat knocked New Zealand out of the whole thing in a super over - the second one or of the tournament. Then Malinga's 5 wicket haul helped Sri Lanka to knock out England. This is good for the Thought pads and I am guessing bad for The Fours and Sixes. Its the spin I tell you, its all about the spin.
Tomrrow we have the last two match ups in the Super Eight round. Australia is most certainly through unless they are handed their collective butts on a plate by Pakistan. The second spot in the semis is up for grab with everyone needing a win. It is most likely a battle between India and Pakistan to see who has the best run rate
but if Pakistan loses then South Africa still has a chance. So......... What we do know is that Sri Lanka will play someone on Thursday and then the West Indies willplay someone on Friday.
We also know that there will be a cricket viewing party at the Robinson casa on sunday. Festivities will begin at 11. Missy is bringing coffee cake, I'll make a fritatta and we'll all have lots of fun. I guess I better start cleaning...........

Thanks, Katy. the competition has reached a really interesting stage - the actual cricket that is. I was sorry to see England go - they are probably the most good looking team of the lot. But their cricket was pretty awful yesterday. As for our competition, I am trying to tell myself it is not about winning, it is about how you play the game but that isn't helping at all. We will be thinking about you all with your coffee cake and fritatta - maybe we will go to Patisserie Valerie to drown our sorrows with a thick slice of Mille Feuille.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Missy, for getting out of the doldrums with me! I think I'm going to be generous this year, and let Sean have the sweaty teddy. I shall be serving worm wee on Sunday. Any takers?
ReplyDeleteMoira, I'll love to come. If only we lived closer to each other.
ReplyDeleteI kept the last seat warm long enough, so I happily hand it over to someone else.
I guess I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.
or your worms before they pee
ReplyDeleteI can bottle the wee and send it to you, Missy. Not sure what the sniffer Beagles will make of it at the airport, but, hey. They need some fun, too. You really are making your way up the rankings. Well done. Hey, Cath, what are doing in my place down at the bottom?? Time for a late charge from both of us, no?
