After today you all will be like, "man that sure was a Doosra!"

I'm looking to surge, so watch out! James and Anna are pulling away from me and its time I reined them in. And don't think we've forgotten about you Moira - I have you in my sights as well. Plus my Mother In Law is hot on my heels and I don't want to make this easy on her. Henry is still hanging in with the big kids and Paul is trying to Mind the Gap. In low end news, the Hart sisters have a fear of the sweaty teddy and have surpassed Michael. Michael actually said to me the other night, "when should I make trades?" Really? Like I'm going to help the likes of him.

In cricket news, India beat Ireland, Sri Lanka beat Scotland, and last night South Africa beat the UAE. (Side note question: If I want to start a sentence with de Villiers, do I capitalize the de??) Anyway......De Villiers was one shy of a century and Berhardien earned a half century with 64, and despite Naveed's 3 wickets South Africa put up 341 for the UAE to chase. But other than 57 from Patil, they couldn't manage to do much, going all out at 47.3 overs and 146 runs short. So, well done to all the big teams putting the little teams in their places.

Today is the start of 3 days of double headers. The last 3 days before the quarter finals. First up today is New Zealand and Bangladesh. Both of these teams are through to the quarter finals and NZ will top Pool A, but if Bangladesh could win it would move them ahead of Sri Lanka. Which would be good because they would probably avoid meeting India, which could be bad. The second game is England and Afghanistan. Both of these teams are headed home after this. But, there are still points to be had so don't hesitate to put them on you team. England will not want to face further shame by losing to Afghanistan and Afghanistan will want to show the world the associates deserve a seat at the table.

tata for now
