When Faf fell

Only one game today and I proved to be quite exciting. Bangladesh was no ones pick as favorites for the day but then again South Africa haven't been to stellar as of late either so who knew?? Bangladesh batted first and did amazing! Al Hasan's 75 and Rahim's 78 secured a total of 330 for South Africa to chase. And since they only dropped 6 wickets I would say well done Bangladesh. 2 wickets each to Phehlukwayo, Morris, and Tahir - nothing to write home about. And for the first half of the 2nd innings it looked like South Africa had a shot, their run rate was on par with Bangladesh. But the then Faf fell. He was on 62 in the 27th over and tried to launch another one when it spun through the gate and crashed into leg stump. Bye bye Faf. They stuck it out for all 50 overs but the run rate just could never get where they needed it to be and in the end they were 21 runs shy. So again, well done Bangladesh.

As for our little competition, I was up there in second for a hot second, but alas, no more. Clustercluck2019 has regained the top spot with the Crackpot Rabbits making a surge just behind. Trophytakers slipped as did the Politcal*unkies, Nagels, Muttermatters and the Panicky Squids are all hanging in the middle order with Henry's Stour Power loosing steam. Hang in there Henry! Catherine is on her way home. (evil daughter in law aside: maybe Catherine will forget to do her trades since she's at the airport..........hmmmm.......)

Tomorrow's match will be England v. Trump, no wait, that's what's happening for the Political Junkies out there, as for the cricketing *unkies, it's England v. Pakistan.

Do you think that Trump Baby balloon will fly over the match? Maybe I should tape it just in case......hmmm......whistling........
