Final worm, for now

See you next time.

22 runs!!!

And so it ends. sadly I chose Mendis, who did not play. And Herath may be a great bowler but he is not two great bowlers...so.....I fell short finishing in the middle where I have been all along. How about you all? Didn't seem like there was much movement in these last few matches. But it was an exciting game. Well done to Sri Lanka for knocking India off their pedastal. And well done Kohli for a stellar run at bat. Well done Sangakara for a stellar job all round. I think fun times were had by all. I thank you all for playing and I look forward to the next opportunity to beat you. Get ready, The Cricket World Cup 2015 will be in Australia / New Zealand in 312 days, 9 hours, 47 min, and 12 seconds, no 11, 10, 9, 8..........

2 runs! 2 RUNS!!

That's all I am behind Anna now, 2 measly runs. Can I do it? Can anyone catch James? Will Henry leave Michael in the dust? What can happen with only one game to play?

India have gone through after beating South Africa by 6 wickets. It started out well for SA, they batted well, put up 172. Nothing to sneeze at. du Plessis even had a half century and they only dropped 4 wickets. 3 of those 4 went to Ashwin. So it was a good inning and I am sure they could see the light. Maybe they were praying for rain at that point as surely D/L would have favored them. They it all went south. (Does that phrase translate? When you are from the southern hemisphere do you talk of things going north? Just wondering) Anyway it went down hill. Kohli batted like a champ with 72 not out. India only dropped 4 wickets and they had 5 balls to spare. Well done India, they have certainly had one stellar tournament so far. Can it continue? Can Sri Lanka cause an upset? Will anyone join Michael and I at 6am to watch?

Day off tomorrow and then the Final on Sunday. Have fun!

Don't go to the dark side

The duckman strikes again

So I said to Michael, "the West Indies could take Sri Lanka" and he replied, "no, they are like South Africa. They always choke." I don't know if you could call todays game a choke, but they will be going home after the game was called and Sri Lanka won on Duckworth Lewis. Sri Lanka batted first and put up 160 to chase. So the West Indies settled into chase. But they settled a little to far in. They didn't have the pace, they were banking on the middle order to close the deal for them, but then the rain came. Sammy had just come into bat and the hail started, game over. So Sri Lanka will go through to the final, and with who?? India or South Africa?? I guess we know Michael's thoughts. What about yours?

As for us, lots of position changes in the lower order. No position changes in the top order. I think Anna is copying me......I'm going dark. See you all tomorrow.

At least we are consistent

Are you ready to rumble???

Come on folks, there is still time. Who are you gunning for? What is your end game? How are your trades? James is not to far gone. Henry need not take home the sweaty teddy. I'm hoping to pass Anna. Ooh the tension.........

And if anyone is crazy enough, you are welcome to sleep here Saturday night and wake up bright and early to catch the final. Who's In? I'm brewing coffee, and there just might be some See's leftover.

Hail Storm and other stuff

We met with the yard guy tonight. So......West Indies beat Pakistan and are through to the semis. Australia beat Bangladesh but other than the social faux pas of handing the hosts their hide, it didn't matter. No cricket tomorrow and then Thursday will be South Africa vs. the West Indies. Coming down to the wire folks. Its time to lay it all out there.......
