So lots of rain and not a lot of cricket today as both matches were rained out and the winners determined by some arcane mathematical algorithm called Duckworth Lewis. It began with Sri Lanka who put up 173 for Zimbabwe to chase. Jayawardene made a century! Only like 3 others have done that in Twenty20 matches. Then Zimbabwe needed to get 44 from 5 overs but only managed 29. So Sri Lanka wins. It was not a total loss as my sleeper Zimbabwean bowlers did quite well for me. In the next game England put up a staggering 191 (I'd like to note my pick of Eoin Morgan was brilliant as he had the highest score for England with 55) then WI were declared the winners with 60 runs from 6 overs. Why? Who knows.
In our match Duckworth was no where to be found as Missy's Dusters shot to the top plugging up the works for Catherine's Volcanoes. Seems to me that Missy is playing fast and loose with her captain changes (Raina yesterday and Jayawardene today). Hope she doesn't run out of trades before the end. My stealth Zimbabwe choices propelled me into second and I'm wearing a mask so the dust shouldn't be a problem - Watch out Missy!
Tomorrow lets hope for sunny skies as we watch New Zealand take on Zimbabwe and England hopes for redemption over Ireland.
Well done Missy! But have you been watching the news? Volcanic ash all over the place again!!
ReplyDeleteThe dusters have plenty of cloths to clean up the mess!
ReplyDeleteMy players keep going out with problems in their nether regions – groin, buttocks, diarrhea. Is God trying to tell me to make Salman Butt my captain?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, Anna, but I have to congratulate Missy on some pretty nifty whatever it is she's doing! At least I shot up one spot...
ReplyDeleteYes, Anna, Yes......Butt's your man
ReplyDeleteEverybody has their problems but I have to get off the pot or make a move, perhaps Butt's is my man... Hummm
ReplyDeleteyou guys could also go for Sidebottom
ReplyDeleteI fear I have sent us down a bad, bad road. And by the way - how can any of my players get any points if they aren't allowed to actually play!
ReplyDeleteKaty, I have already had my eye on Sidebottom. When Pakistan plays England in the next go round Butts and Sidebottom are my go to guys!
ReplyDeleteLet's be serious now. Do you all see that Katy is at the top today? What did she know about the rain that we didn't? Well done, Katy. Let's hope the weather improves so that our guys can, at least, play some cricket. England scraped past Ireland by the skin of their teeth - whew!!
