Man, that sure was a Doosra!

A surge is a surge no matter how small

From my phone

So the day wears on, no trades made, time to take the kids to gymnastics....what to do? I decided to see how smart this phone actually is. Just made all my trades on the phone, wipe brow that I got it done in time. Now I am attempting to write the blog on my phone while I wait. We'll see how it goes.
Yesterday new Zealand best Bangladesh in what was a really exciting match, or at least that what the headlines on cricinfo said. I think mahmudullah got like 147 but not enough.sorry that's all the details you get.the phone is good but it's no computer. Then England beat Afghanistan, thank God because they may not have been let back in the country if they had lost.
So two matches about to start, first it's India and zimbabwe then Australia and Scotland.any guesses who the favorites are? I don't think a win or lose makes a hill of beans for India, but Australia will want the win to make their finishing place a little stronger, although they go through no matter what.
Ok,I chock all typos up to autocorrect and all witty humor I take full responsibility. Chow

After today you all will be like, "man that sure was a Doosra!"

I'm looking to surge, so watch out! James and Anna are pulling away from me and its time I reined them in. And don't think we've forgotten about you Moira - I have you in my sights as well. Plus my Mother In Law is hot on my heels and I don't want to make this easy on her. Henry is still hanging in with the big kids and Paul is trying to Mind the Gap. In low end news, the Hart sisters have a fear of the sweaty teddy and have surpassed Michael. Michael actually said to me the other night, "when should I make trades?" Really? Like I'm going to help the likes of him.

In cricket news, India beat Ireland, Sri Lanka beat Scotland, and last night South Africa beat the UAE. (Side note question: If I want to start a sentence with de Villiers, do I capitalize the de??) Anyway......De Villiers was one shy of a century and Berhardien earned a half century with 64, and despite Naveed's 3 wickets South Africa put up 341 for the UAE to chase. But other than 57 from Patil, they couldn't manage to do much, going all out at 47.3 overs and 146 runs short. So, well done to all the big teams putting the little teams in their places.

Today is the start of 3 days of double headers. The last 3 days before the quarter finals. First up today is New Zealand and Bangladesh. Both of these teams are through to the quarter finals and NZ will top Pool A, but if Bangladesh could win it would move them ahead of Sri Lanka. Which would be good because they would probably avoid meeting India, which could be bad. The second game is England and Afghanistan. Both of these teams are headed home after this. But, there are still points to be had so don't hesitate to put them on you team. England will not want to face further shame by losing to Afghanistan and Afghanistan will want to show the world the associates deserve a seat at the table.

tata for now

Get off me!
