This cricket stuff is exciting!!

No Blog last night as I barely made my trades in time in between Immy waking up with nightmares. But New Zealand beat Australia and are looking strong over all. And in a major comeback move England beat SA. The opening inning was so bad for England Catherine gave up and went to Patisserie Valerie. But she took her tea to soon and she missed watching England rally and pull off a huge chase. So well done England. They needed that. Sure hope that Mille-Feuille was worth it Catherine.

Happy Birthday Mom! I am sure Missy was glued to the TV today, she probably brought her tea to the couch. I saw that golf was on.

As for the cricket. Only one game. India beat Pakistan in a much anticipated game. I guess there were security questions and venue changes and everything. But, a game happened, shortened due to weather - 18 overs a side. Pakistan managed only 118 in their innings and the wickets were spread around, not much of note. Then India went in and Kohli led the charge with 55 not out. So well done Kohli. Sami got 2 wickets. India won in 15.5 overs with 6 wickets to spare.

As for us, the worms tell it all.
Catherine has a major lead - on both worms. I overtook James and Anna took a massive dive. What happened Anna?

Tomorrow its Afghanistan and South Africa first followed by Sri Lanka and the Windies. Have fun

  1. sorry to hear about Immy's nightmares. Can't be fun for her and therefore not for you! On the frivolous side of things, My Seestah is still up at the top. Waaaaay up at the top. I shall bathe in her reflected glory since I don't have any of my own. Happy birthday, Missy. I trust it was fabulous?

  2. Ditto about Immy's nightmares. Hope it was just a one-off. Hope your birthday wa fun, Missy. If you can't watch cricket, golf is a good alternative. Actually, I had the apple and almond franzipan at Patisserie Valerie! But who cares, England finally won a game.

  3. Thank you all. I had a wonderful 76th birthday. I'd like to fire my captain for a birthday present to myself. But the trades. What to do? What to do?
