Bangladesh Knock England Out
Now that we have settled the sweaty teddy matter (see post below) back to the cricket. Last night Bangladesh beat England knocking them out of the quarter finals, and ensuring they themselves will move on. So the top 4 from Pool A are set, although what order they finish is not set yet. Moving on from Pool A are New Zealand, Australia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. A special well done to Bangladesh as this is their first time to move out of the knock out stage in a world cup.
How'd they do it? Well they batted first and it was all about Mahmudullah (103) and Rahim (89). No One else did much but they didn't need to. The put up a total of 275 after the 50 overs. England couldn't get it together, Bell tried (63), Buttler tried(65), but it was not enough. They went all out 15 runs short. And a 4 wicket haul to R. Hossain.
More shuffling in our group, check the worm.

The Sweaty World Cup Teddy Bear of 12th Place-ness
So, this is the original post from back in the day when the bat and the bear first made their appearances. As to why the bear is sweaty? Still a mystery.
"Moira stuck to her guns for a solid 12 place finish and so earns the sweaty world cup teddy bear of 12th place-ness. Paul get the shirt of first place-ness. Missy came in second and has requested the third place prize of the hat coz she doesn't know what a cricket ball is and so, if that is ok with you Sarah, she wins the hat and you win the cricket ball.
Also, we bought a floating trophy of a signature cricket bat that will go to Paul as the winner. I will get his name put on it, and in 4 years time it will go to the next winner of the Robinson World Cup. It shall hence forth (I always wanted to say that) be known as the Sweaty Robinson World Cup Trophy of Winningness. Here is a picture of the bat and the bear."
