The Curious Incident of the Henry Gone Missing

Oh Henry, oh Henry, where for art thou oh Henry? Ok, who made Henry so mad that he took his toys and went home? If it was you go ahead and admit it, its ok, we'll still love you. Did he miss out on Gul today the same way he missed out on Bravo yesterday? Did Catherine sabotage him? What could have happened? All I know is that we'd like him back.

As for the rest of us, if you picked Gul you did well today. He had a 5 wicket haul which is 25 bonus points on top of the 25 points for the wickets, plus he only conceded like 6 runs so he got 10 points for such a good econ rating. Unreal! I personally didn't have him, poor me. So good for you if you did. In addition to the Gullies, Moira did quite well for being AWOL. She loves her South Africans and they took care of her today.

My early prediction of New Zealand in the finals may have been premature. They aren't looking so hot and I am worried. I mean they actually embarrassed themselves today going 99 all out for Pakistan to chase. I mean get real, I was yelling, "AGNOMAN!" I think it might actually have been due to Missy. She snaked my McCullum as her captain and I think she jinxed the team, we'll see what happens but I have not accounted for making a captaincy trade - you all may catch up to me yet.

Well, we're half way through the super 8s and the only thing for sure is that South Africa will go through, as E1 or E2 we don't know. Tomorrow the India v. England match is huge. They have both lost one match in the super 8s so far and need this win. on the other side is Ireland vs. Sri Lanka. Ireland would really be the cinderellas of the tourney if they could pull a win out. My new prediction is Sri Lanka V. South Africa in the finals. What ever happens it should be fun so trade up and enjoy!

The Snake, no wait, The Worm

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. Why don't English fielders need pre tour travel injections?

And finally a commentary quote:

It's been very slow and dull day, but it hasn't been boring. It's been a good, entertaining day's cricket.- Tony Benneworth, ABC Radio
