Pakistan and Australia played first today. Pakistan batted first and earned 191, 94 of those coming from Umar Akmal. So all in all a solid showing. Australia then went in to bat and dropped 2 wickets right away in the first over, losing both Warner and Watson (that didn't help anyone's slope)But, Finch and Maxwell were able to hang in there and put together a pretty good partnership, both surpassing the half century mark. Unfortunately for Australia they were the only two who hit double digits and so it just wasn't enough. Wickets all over the place for Pakistan - well done bowlers. 2 a piece to Babar, Gul, Afridi, and Bhatti. Pakistan won by 16 runs.
Hello West Indies? Hello? Did you come to play cricket??? It certainly didn't appear so. We actually caught the end of this game. We can watch the matches live on the xbox. So, anyone that wants to show up 6am to see the second match of the day, I will happily brew you a latte. Anyway, West Indies had a lackluster batting run only reaching a target of 129, me thinks thats not enough against India. Jadeja did well bowling with a 3 wicket haul. So, India didn't have to much to do and they handily won by 7 wickets. Sharma and Kholi banged out most of the runs, each reaching the half century mark. The West Indian bowling was dismal and only of note because Bravo earned me -45 points, thanks a lot Bravo.
chek out our worm! Lots of steep slopes today with a massive surge my James. Well done James, that table is starting to pivot. And Missy had overtaken Bob, and they both left Katy S in the dust. So much more to come, what will happen?
Tomorrow is New Zealand v. South Africa and Sri Lanka v. Netherlands (the usual men in Orange).

Thanks for explaining, Katy, why none of the people I picked, in any team whatsoever, actually earned any points. It seems none of them touched a ball or a bat. Ark. Hellooo, Michael. I'll just join you then, shall I, and we can talk about photography?
ReplyDeleteI was just telling Henry how Maxwell had confidence issues when he started to hit the ball into the spectator area - he was awesome to watch. The Aus/Pakistan game was pretty exciting to watch. And yes, what happened to WI? It has to be said that India is an extremely strong team. Well done to James.
