Halfway point worm
Katy is making me write this blog entry coz she is mean and likes to beat other people and stuff. Anyway, enough about me, howz y'all doin'?
We are at the halfway point and it seems that anyone could win at this point as long as your name is Katy Robinson. Everyone else is trying not to come last. There are many sad stories in the the big city. Henry claims Catherine kept him from getting to the computer to choose Bravo before the game began, Katy S missed out on 47 points due to missed trades, Moira claims to be out of town, Paul claims not to be able to watch the games and eden blames the Iranians.
So, to cheer everyone up here are some cricket jokes:
What do you get if you cross a tin opener, a vampire and a cricket team?
An opening bat.
Expectant Father
An expectant father rang the hospital to see how his wife was getting on.
By mistake he was connected to the Lord's cricket ground.
"How's it going?" he asked.
"Fine," came the answer, "We've got three out and hope to have the rest out before lunch. The last one was a duck."
Spelling Bee
In school, the teacher asked Johnny to spell "bowling".
Back came the answer : "B-o-e-l-i-n."
"That," said the teacher, "is the worst spell of bowling I've ever seen."
Q. What's the English version of a hat trick?
A. Three runs in three balls. --- For Catherine
Q. Why don't English fielders need pre tour travel injections?
A. Because they never catch anything. --- For Catherine again :-)
And finally a commentary quote:

Sean is cranky
and therefore this will be short. Two games that didn't matter other than to give us points. Sri Lanka had some great batting and beat the West Indies who played like poo. Then India took out a surprised Ireland. Ireland was surprised cause this was their first loss ever in a twenty 20 match - I don't think they've played many at this level. If you had Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Bravo, or Sharma then you got extra points for their half centuries. I had 3 of the 4.
As for the worm, some went up, some went down, but I'm on top.
Tomorrow starts the beginning of the Super Eights. This round is broken into two groups with the top 2 from each group moving on. Group E is England, South Africa, India, and the West Indies. Group F includes Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Each team plays 3 games, so 2 wins would guarantee a spot in the semis. Tomorrow we see England take on South Africa and New Zealand takes on Ireland. I think the England v. South Africa game should be interesting since SA hasn't been playing as well as they can but also haven't really been tested yet and England is probably on an upswing since their opening defeat. Should be good cricket.
Good Night
