Watch out for your windows
cause the Balls are hitting the Walls!
I awoke this morning to discover that my blog post from last night was only half written and not published. So, yeah, there you go.
Ok, down to business. yesterday: Sri lanka and New Zealand tied - yes, tied. I mean really with scores like 170 you would think one team could win outright. But anyway, they tied. So, there was a one over eliminator and Sri Lanka takes home the victory. As for England, they lost to the West Indies.
Today: South Africa faced Pakistan. SA batted first and put up 133 runs for 6. The top 3 of their order fell pretty quickly - they should look into that. Duminy did manage to hang on and log 48 - to bad he just missed a half century. Pakistan was able to answer that with 2 wickets left, giving them a win. The two Umars did most of the work. Akmal scored 45 and Gul got 32. SA of note today was Steyn who racked up 3 wickets and then went off the field with an ankle injury - we will have to watch how that goes.
While SA v. Pak may have been a close match, India v. Australia was not. India batted first and put up a paltry 140 for 7. This did give Watson a chance to get his whistle wet with 3 wickets. Then Watson and his buddy Warner took care of all but a few of those 140 runs. 72 for Watson and 63 for Warner. SO........ Australia crushed poor India in 14.5 overs with 9 wickets remaining.
As far as our little tourney goes: The big news is......I have overtaken Bazinga and am hot on the heels of the HoG. No, no, the big news is that James is in the lead, well done James. But seriously, I changed my captain and it has made all the difference. So I say, GO AUSTRALIA. Moira, come on, you need to get over your hatred. If we had an updated worm I sure we could more clearly see all the other jostling. Ooh Michael..... I do know Michael is still in 5th going no where fast. I guess his boom stick has a crack. And it appears that while Henry and Richard are on the rise, Bob is faltering. And Missy, OOh Missy, are you still playing? I think maybe Missy secretly has her eye on the sweaty teddy award.
Tomorrow: England v. New Zealand, in a must win for both of them. And, Sri Lanka v. West Indies in a battle for the top of the group.
