Sammy anyone?

Well, the first day has finished up with some exciting cricket. New Zealand took down Sri Lanka in a close match winning by 2 wickets with just one ball remaining. appraently it was a real nail biter. It wasn't all bad for Sri Lanka and if you had Jayawardene you picked up some points. On the other side McCullum (nathan that is) did quite well and some guy named Ryder. Brendan McCullum went out for a duck so bummer if you had him. Look for Ryder on Catherines next sqaud. As for the other game, West Indies easily beat Ireland by 70 runs. And none of the Irish really did anything of note except the youngest kid in the tournament. Dockrell is all of 17 and managed to come up with 3 wickets. However, Sammy for the West Indies was the hands down points scorer for the day. He has 3 wickets, like 4 catches, and 30 runs. SO did you have Sammy??? You may want to snatch him up. Rampaul also had a good showing for the West Indies.

So how's it going so far in our tournament? Well Katy S's Outhousers took an early lead with 151 points. Followed closely by Anna and Missy. But its early folks so they should not get to comfortable at the top! If you want so inside dish let me just say that Michael has a top secret strategy - if you read this very quietly I will share it with you........he plans to pick players that will earn a lot of points....shhhh....don't tell him I let the cat out of the bag. Personally I think with 100 trades it is going to come down to some of the less popular players who surprise us. So look for the next Sammy or Ryder and you could be on top.

Tomorrow we see Afghanistan (did you know they had a team?) play India and Bangladesh will take on the defending champs Pakistan.
