Thank You All!!

 Thank you everyone for playing a little cricket with me.  As always, its been fun and nerve racking and exciting.  I do appreciate everyone's willingness to join in the game.  And a big thanks to Anna and James for the worm.  I look forward to the worm each day.  

Looks like Australia 2022 will be our next adventure.  I do have some questions though before then.  I think there are some issues with the cricketweb site.  Its kinda clunky and I think the challenge isn't quite there like it used to be.  I feel like we have to many trades. so other than your captain, you can just have a new team each day.  Also, the allotted number of player points is really no challenge. I don't know about you all but only in the Final match was player points as issue for me.  I think maybe this is why there isn't all that much movement within our group.  Anyone else have thoughts about the site we use?  There must be other fantasy sites out there, are you all open for a change?

Katy Robinson you are the early bird!

 

Where's My Team??

 Don't fret, its still there.  Log onto Cricetweb and on the right you'll see "Recently Archived Teams"  Click on T20 World Cup 2021, you'll see your team and if you scroll all the way to the bottom there will be a link to the Robinson Cricketers Rout

The DRS Zone

 Australia beat Pakistan by 5 wickets.  I seem to have chosen all the players who earned negative points.  I am now in serious jeopardy of the overtake.  Fingers crossed Anna's captain has a middling game, and James' captain as well for  good measure.  Catherine looks poised to overtake Missy and Henry is poised to overtake Michael.  One duck could decide it all.  New Zealand and Australia will play for all the marbles on Sunday, starting at 6 am (my time).  So you have a few days to contemplate your overtaking strategy, fire up the KERS and get yourself in the DRS zone.

Worm before the last worm which is the next worm.

 

I'm in Trouble

 Michael and I turned on the game as we booted the  kids out the door for school.  It was the last over of the England Innings.  They had put up a decent score to chase of 166/4, we settled in for some cricket.  Initially it did not look good for New Zealand, they lost a few wickets pretty early and things were just a bit slow.  But, Mitchell and Conway had a pretty good partnership going and their total steadily climbed.  It was still showing only a 17% chance of them winning well into the 2nd half of the inning.  Then Neesham came in.  And Jordan was bowling.  And boy oh boy did the tide make an abrupt turn around.  Neesham was only in for a few overs but he managed to earn 27 runs off of only 11 balls.  And when he went out, Mitchell carried on as if his name was Neesham, he started cracking boundaries like no bodies business.  So in the end, with 6 balls and 5 wickets remaining, New Zealand won, and we had to say goodbye to my captain.  Its a sad sad day.  I feel very vulnerable just now. no captain for these last two matches.  Its so close, any of you people can surge ahead of me, well anyone but Sean.  I'm getting out the super glue to try and hang on.

Australia / Pakistan tomorrow.  No need for a captain, really, you'll be fine

Keep on Worming
