Welcome Back
Well, you all might have been here all along. Sorry, I went MIA over the weekend and then the folks needed some IT training, so I have been remiss. But you all are used to that right?
Here's the recap: NZ beat Australia by 1 wicket, India beat UAE by 9 wickets, Sri Lanka beat England by 9 wickets, and Pakistan finally won a match against Zimbabwe by 20 runs. So, in Pool A NZ has 8 points, SL 6, Bang 6, and Aust. 3. In Pool B India has 6, SA 4, Ire 4, and WI 4.
With us, Anna has reclaimed #1, I put the temporary squash on my aangetroude (is that the right word?), while my parents have taken out their son - We'll see if that sticks. Although I have to say when they did it to me there was NO sympathy what so ever, and now my mom seems to feel a little bad that she has done it to James...what gives? Also, in big news, Catherine has overtaken Henry! Kathy???? Kathy???? are you with us? Sally - give her a nudge. Lots more cricket to play folks, lots more.
In about 90 minutes South Africa will be taking on Ireland - they could use a win but the Irish are on fire so who knows.

Seriously fun cricket
There has been some really exciting matches in the tournament - at least they read exciting. I wish I could watch a few of them but time zones are an issue as the $100 price to get the feed. Aah well, I have to rely on cricinfo for my blow by blow commentary.
Yesterday South Africa beat the West Indies by 257 runs! WTF? SA needed that win for sure but did anyone predict such a blow out? The West Indies have been doing well. SA put 408 runs, that is the highest total we have seen by far. Amla, duPlessis, and Rossouw all scored in the 60's and deVilliers got 162! 162 from only 66 balls - that's lots of 4's and 6's that is. Must have been exciting to watch that. SA only dropped 5 wickets on their way to 408 so there wasn't much to talk about with WI bowling. And apparently there wasn't much to talk about with their batting either because they went all out after 33 overs. Gayle got 3 - hope you all picked him! And the only one to score anything of note was Holder with 56, on the other side, Tahir got a 5 wicket haul. Who had him?? I did! I did!
Today we will see the huge match up of Australia and New Zealand. Australia missed their last match from the hurricane so their numbers look low compared to NZ but I wouldn't count them out my friends, I wouldn't count them out. Time for my captain choice to pay off! India will also be handing the UAE tickets home, actually with this tournament I shouldn't be so quick to judge. But India is definitely a favorite.
I got back in front of my mom, Moira remains on top, Henry continues to climb and it appears that Paulpaulpaulpaulpaul and the Nagelators have both woken up.
