Oh Henry, oh Henry, where for art thou oh Henry? Ok, who made Henry so mad that he took his toys and went home? If it was you go ahead and admit it, its ok, we'll still love you. Did he miss out on Gul today the same way he missed out on Bravo yesterday? Did Catherine sabotage him? What could have happened? All I know is that we'd like him back.
As for the rest of us, if you picked Gul you did well today. He had a 5 wicket haul which is 25 bonus points on top of the 25 points for the wickets, plus he only conceded like 6 runs so he got 10 points for such a good econ rating. Unreal! I personally didn't have him, poor me. So good for you if you did. In addition to the Gullies, Moira did quite well for being AWOL. She loves her South Africans and they took care of her today.
My early prediction of New Zealand in the finals may have been premature. They aren't looking so hot and I am worried. I mean they actually embarrassed themselves today going 99 all out for Pakistan to chase. I mean get real, I was yelling, "AGNOMAN!" I think it might actually have been due to Missy. She snaked my McCullum as her captain and I think she jinxed the team, we'll see what happens but I have not accounted for making a captaincy trade - you all may catch up to me yet.
Well, we're half way through the super 8s and the only thing for sure is that South Africa will go through, as E1 or E2 we don't know. Tomorrow the India v. England match is huge. They have both lost one match in the super 8s so far and need this win. on the other side is Ireland vs. Sri Lanka. Ireland would really be the cinderellas of the tourney if they could pull a win out. My new prediction is Sri Lanka V. South Africa in the finals. What ever happens it should be fun so trade up and enjoy!

Oh my Goodness!! I got up early (as usual) to check the standings (ever the optimist!). I was 9th - not good but there you are. Then Henry came in and asked how things were looking - and he had disappeared! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry - he says he didn't push any wrong buttons - yeah right! He was last on the computer so don't blame me - anyway, because he has a really intelligent wife, he has been restored since he was still in the system although no longer on the Robinson Rout. And Guess what -now I am 10th - thanks Henry!! Well done to all the Gullites (Henry was one of them).
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm back from the fairest Cape, which was, indeed, incredibly fair. Flat blue sea, warm, no wind - and I was staying in a house with four floors, of which the fourth was composed of a swimming pool, deck, and Jacuzzi, with a stunning view of the sea on one side and Signal Hill and Table Mountain on the other. Read this and weep.
ReplyDeleteAnd... I'll ask you all to notice that I'm still third (before the India England game) without having been here to play.
If you feel a hot breath on your neck, Katy, it's not your dream come true, it's me catching up!
ooohhhh I'm scared......
ReplyDeleteNow, now, the one I'd look out for is Michael!
