2 Games today. First up Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, yeah yeah, we've seen these guys. Ban opened with 171/4 not bad at all, looking good Bangladesh. 1/2 century for both Naim and M. Rahim. But then SL managed to chase it down with 5 wickets to spare in the 19th over. 80 for Asalanka and 53 for Rajapakja.
Next up, the big cricket rivals, India and Pakistan! This should be one huge match, can't wait to see it. Caught the first inning. India at bat and Kohli leads the team with 57 getting the Indian side to 151/7. Ok, good outing, they can defend this right? Right! I mean its beatable but its also defendable. Made breakfast during the innings break, Michael got distracted by "Name this movie from one still shot" quizzes on YouTube, and well, we never saw the 2nd inning. But I mean, it was all business as usual. So....no big deal. Checks cricinfo.........WTF!? Pakistan won, ok cool, but they won BY 10 WICKETS!!! WTF just happened, that we missed watching "Fool Penn and Teller" on YouTube? Apparently all the Indian bowlers got stuck in line for the loo, cause they lost the match without getting one single wicket, not one. Rizwan and Azam just went out there and ran back and forth a bunch of times and won the game for Pakistan. So, well done Pakistan
Tomorrow only one match, Scotland and Afghanistan. My advice, pee before the match starts.
Thanks for the write up. It all sounds very interesting to read about. Still not sure what it all means with wickets and bowlers and such.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katy. Your analysis is always hilarious and spot on. Love it! Will remember to pee beforehand. And only to blink afterwards. James, come on over and we will take you to a game - it really is huge fun and edge of the seat stuff.
