Happy Birthday Dad!
A very Happy Birthday to my Dad. It would have been nice if Catherine could have let you have 1st place, but you know those South African English......
Very short blog as I have a Harry Potter party to prepare for.
Scotland beat Hong Kong and apparently it was win a long time in the making. Their both out.
Afghanistan walloped Zimbabwe. They put up 186 with a half century for Nabi. Zimbabwe went all out at 19.4 overs 59 runs short. So well done Afghanistan, they move on to the main event as top of group B.
Tomorrow its Ireland and Netherlands in a sad, you are both going home, game. And then the main match between Oman and Bangladesh, Bangladesh is the favorite but who knows, Oman could be a spoiler.
As for us, Catherine??!!?? Who did you bribe? Seriously, that was quite a steep climb. Also with surges (smaller but still surges) Anna, Henry, and Kathy. Well done to all of you.

RRAAAIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! Ireland and the Netherlands are shaking fists.
Well, there were two games today and two rain outs. The first match with Oman and Netherlands was rained out before it even started. So no points from any of them. The second match with Bangladesh and Ireland got in 8 overs before they washed out, so some points to be had. Iqbal got 47 runs and McBrine and Dockrell each got a wicket. Those few points helped Moira move up and I retook 1st from my Dad. (no I don't feel bad, not at all, his birthday is tomorrow anyway, so we can all go easy on him then, maybe, probably not even then)
The real news is that this means that Ireland and the Netherlands are both O U T out. Oman plays Bangladesh in the last match so they still have some hope, it will be a showdown there.
Tomorrow will decide Group B. Hong Kong plays Scotland, they are both out, BUT there are points to be had there folks, so don't discount the game. And then the big match will be between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan to see who advances.
Its raining buckets here as well. Anyone else in the RRAAAIIINNNNN???????????

Day 3; The Rath of Morse
Zimbabwe and Afghanistan both won their matches today, which means that the final game between the two will determine which team from group B goes through. Nail biting, nail biting.
Zimbabwe batted first and with a half century from SC Williams they put up 147 for Scotland to chase. But I think maybe Scotland never heard the start whistle for their innings (do they do a whistle? Maybe its that they didn't see the ump wave his hat, I don't know) anyway, Scotland didn't get anything going at all. They went all out after 19.4 overs and they were 11 runs short. 4 wicket haul to Masakadza - don't get to excited though, it was Wellington, not Hamilton. If only Masakadza wasn't such a common name........
Afghanistan beat Hong Kong by 6 wickets. HK put up a measly 116, really? I'm pretty sure Afghanistan could have chased that in their sleep. RAAAATTTHHHHH!!!!! was the highest at 28. NO real need to shake a fist at that. As for the bowling, Nabi nabbed a 4 wicket haul, of course I didn't have him on my team today. Afghanistan chased down the 116 in 18 overs with most of the work being done by Shahzad and Ali Zadran.
Catherine and Anna both had surges but Bob, man o man, did you see that steep climb? MMOOOORRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE .......... TTTTWWWWIIIISSSSTTTTT..............DDDDDRRRIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! (not quite the same ring as Khan) shaking both fists.
And welcome Hartless!! Not we're not Hart less. We could be Hart full if Sally joined!
Tomorrow is Oman and Netherland (can't predict that one now with Oman doing so well) and then Bangladesh / Ireland. Ireland need a win but its doubtful.
