I Surged and So Can You.......

Today saw a match between England and Australia. England came out strong with Bell putting up 91 and a few other guys in the 30's and 40's, resulting in 269 for Australia to chase. Australia for their part didn't have any 3-wickets hauls but McKay and Faulkner both had 2 a piece with pretty good econ rates. Enter Australia: Warner and Watson got off to a slow start and the speed never really picked up. Bailey and Faulkner both got 1/2 centuries but it was no near enough to bring England down. Anderson led England's bowlers with a 3 wicket haul and an econ rate of 3.00. So well done England! Hope they can keep it going.

As for us, there was lots of action. I had a surge, so did Bob. Moira slipped as did James. No need to worry folks there is lots of cricket left. The rumor poolside is that Bob is banking heavily on the Sri Lankans and Anna will only charge you a dollar to see the results of her tri-grouping pivot experiment. The excitement continues to mount..........

Tomorrow we see the last of the 8 teams New Zealand and Sri Lanka. They are both looking to add some trophies to their tiny collections so it should be a good game. Enjoy!
