Final Post

Well we've done it again, we've waisted another month with the silly cricket. I mean we've spent an enjoyable month bonding with our family and friends. Thank you all for joining me in the journey.

The West Indies beat England by 4 wickets. England batted first and put up 155. Half century to Root and ducks to Roy and Moeen Ali. 3 wicket hauls to Bravo and Brathwaite. So last night when making my team, I had 1 trade left, so I was looking for a WI bowler. I asked Michael, he didn't know, I narrowed it down to Benn or Brathwaite..........guess who I chose? Yeah, the one with the horrible econ rating, not the 3 wicket haul. Anyway... WI went into bat and stayed true to their normal style of leaving the same person on point for as long as possible. And that person seemed to be their #3, Samuels. In the end he was not out with 85 runs. But, Samuels is not the story, no. Can you guess? Who do you think, in the end, won the game for WI??? Yes, that's right, the one and only Brathwaite!! Why or Why could I not have gone with Brathwaite??? WI needed 19 runs from the last 6 balls, it was looking pretty good for England. Brathwaite was on point, Stokes was into bowl. End then 6!, and 6!, and 6!, and just in case you missed it 6! Brathwaite knocked 4 6's in a row to win the match. WOW!!!

The Wexst Indies may have won the tournament but England prevailed in our little competition. Congratulations to Catherine for taking home the World Twenty20 Cup! and also a hearty congrats to Bob for winning in the qualifying round and to me, for winning the main tournament. And most of all a huge congratulations and Thank you to everyone for playing. Until next time.......

Final Match Tomorrow!!

I assume by now you all know that the West Indies beat India. Seems whoever I think will win does not. Looks like a captain change for me. Kohli lead India to an impressive 192 with 89 of those runs. And India only dropped 2 wickets, so it was all looking good. But apparently India can't bowl, so......... Only dropping 3 wickets, West Indies chased it down with 2 balls remaining. Simmons had 82 and a half century to Charles. Why didn't I slot Simmons in?? Why?? He was on my short list. Ahh well....


As for us: The only switch after that game was James being struck down by Henry's Chartham Strikers. So one more match to make your moves. One more match to revel in the glory or wallow in misery. One more match of Cricket fun. England and the West Indies, who will it be?? Can England overcome years of choking to take home the prize?? Can the West Indies be disciplined enough to win? Will the Conquistadors dodge the Cannon fire? Third place is just about anyone's game. And what about our overall scores?? Catherine still has the lead there. Not sure by how much but I can tell you, I am hoping to take home ALL the glory, so she better watch out.

Good Luck Everyone!
