2 runs! 2 RUNS!!

That's all I am behind Anna now, 2 measly runs. Can I do it? Can anyone catch James? Will Henry leave Michael in the dust? What can happen with only one game to play?

India have gone through after beating South Africa by 6 wickets. It started out well for SA, they batted well, put up 172. Nothing to sneeze at. du Plessis even had a half century and they only dropped 4 wickets. 3 of those 4 went to Ashwin. So it was a good inning and I am sure they could see the light. Maybe they were praying for rain at that point as surely D/L would have favored them. They it all went south. (Does that phrase translate? When you are from the southern hemisphere do you talk of things going north? Just wondering) Anyway it went down hill. Kohli batted like a champ with 72 not out. India only dropped 4 wickets and they had 5 balls to spare. Well done India, they have certainly had one stellar tournament so far. Can it continue? Can Sri Lanka cause an upset? Will anyone join Michael and I at 6am to watch?

Day off tomorrow and then the Final on Sunday. Have fun!

  1. Only a few hours to go before we have the final results. Can I still win? Just joking... Seems James knows his cricket better than any of us - well done James. There are a few mini competitions going on too so that is fun. How about a final comment from each of you - three cheers for Katy and her commentary!

  2. Thanks Catherine, many of the crew were here this evening and there was much speculation on tomorrows game. Aunt Katy is betting on Sri Lanka, Anna is hoping 2 runs is enough, James could care less about the game but loves his first place slot, Missy is plotting ways to take down her only son, Michael is looking forward to the next tournament. So much to consider..........

  3. I'll be watching with Katy and Michael (or maybe I'll sleep in). I'm sure I'll be watching in order to cheer on my team. Guess I better pick them before I forget. Good luck Mom!
    (Catherine, we finished off 3 boxes of Sees today. I feel a little sick)

  4. Anna, you should have sent some across the pond so you didn't have to feel sick. I think first prize for James should be a trip to Aus next year to see the cricket World Cup. You would love it, James. And one more thing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW, KATY. YOU ARE A DAUGHTER IN LAW IN A MILLION!

  5. I just finished watching the game in fast forward. The points haven't been posted yet. I may have won and than again I may have lost. As my niece Leisha says "It's 50 50".
    Best of luck to everyone.

  6. I watched part of the game with mom. Maybe it's more fun to play. If they wanted to score more they should run faster. Why not through the ball at the batter? The should be more sliding. Good tournament.

  7. Some interesting suggestions, James. Well done to you and to Missy and Bob too. When I told Henry he had the sweaty teddy he didn't seem to mind at all.... Granny loves you too, Imogen and Sean.
