Shock and Awe

I really do not know what to say, and its difficult to speak anyway since I haven't pulled my jaw up off the floor. What the hell happened? The West Indies, who up until now have done squat, absolutely demolished Australia and any hope I had of beating James. They put up 205 runs for Australia to chase with 6 wickets to spare. Gayle alone earned 75 and was not out. He spent the entire game just smacking that ball to the boundaries. Then when Australia got up to bat Watson and Warner fell like matchsticks in the wind. The rest of Australia didn't quite seem to know what to do after that and they all fell in line. The only one who thought maybe he should still be playing cricket was Bailey. He earned a respectable 63 but without the support of the rest of the guys, well, it was just sad.

I also fell like a matchstick to the whiz of a Bazinga. Missy and Bob are both having late tournament surges. Michael is having an "Occupy 5th Street" protest. Finally, Sean made a surprise captain change to Ravi Rampaul who got him 3 wickets!

Finals on Sunday Sri Lanka v. West Indies. Whose coming over to watch?

  2. I was at the hairdresser so couldn't watch. Asked for it to be recorded - got home to 'failed to record'!! Nothing is working out really. Can I come and watch at your house?
