2 games today and both pretty exciting. To start Afghanistan almost beat India, but not quite. India only put up 224 to chase which Afghanistan nearly did, they went all out 11 runs shy. 4 wicket haul to Shami.
In the second match NZ almost crushed the opening innings with 291, but not quite as Cottrell got a 4 wicket haul. Then the Windies almost crushed NZ with Gayle getting 87, then NZ almost put the insurgence down, gaining lots of wickets, but not quite. The windies almost had a late overs surge with Braithwait getting 101, but not quite. NZ finally managed to get WI all out 5 runs short with a 4 wicket haul to Boult.
As for us, lots of folks gaining but not quite overtaking, where will it all end??
Tomorrow Pakistan v. South Africa
Exciting stuff. Nothing like cricket to get the adrenalin pumping. Relieved to still be up there despite some bad choices.
ReplyDeleteThey don't have to be good choices. Just better than the rest of us.
