State of the Tourney

So with today's win over Pakistan, New Zealand has secured their spot in the Semi Finals. NZ batted first and Guptil's 80 runs took their total up to a formidable 180. 2 wickets each for Sami and Afridi. But Pakistan choked when their turn to bat came. They only dropped 5 wickets but still came up 22 runs short. Where was Boom Boom?? 2 wickets each for Santner and Milne (hey, I'm pretty sure last time I had Milne on my team he got negative points....hmmm.....)

So todays win puts NZ at the top of group 2 with 6 points. Pak, Austr, and India all have 2 points and sadly Bangladesh has 0. In Group 1, the Windies are on top with 4 points followed by SA, SL, and England all with 2, and Afghanistan with 0.

As for the Robinson Cricketers Rout?? Conquistadors chose their name well, at least for now they are conquering and conquering big. The Chuddley Cannons fired another shot at the Fungus among us while Wonky Veg Hoodoos are hanging in there. Vasawatti is dark, very dark but still above the The Real Deal, that's for real not Mforreel. And watch out Chartham Strikers cause Hartless is on the move.

Lots more cricket to play. Tomorrow its England against Afghanistan and India takes on Bangladesh. Should be two open and shut games but with this tournament you never know, you never know......

  2. Well, I for one, do hope that England wgin. It will help me mosey on up the worm just a tad. New Zealand are a force to be reckoned with, but it's hard for India to lose on home ground

  4. Katy, do you want us to do the Haka or the NZ team? Just give me time to put stripes on my face...

  5. I have a soft spot for New Zealand after the last world cup, but that probably means they are doomed. Maybe we can do a Haka on Easter. Or maybe I'll just stick my tongue out.
