WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I made it to the top...............for now anyway. Kohli as captain was my not really a secret weapon.
Afghanistan beat West Indies?!? WHAT?? yes, they did, for real. But the West Indies are already through to the semis so maybe they weren't trying that hard. They didn't even have Gayle in.
India beat Australia, knocking them out as they move on. And Kohli, oh Kohli, he's my man. Nuff said.
Tomorrows game is for nothing but pride as South Africa takes on Sri Lanka.
Then the Semis start on Wed. with New Zealand and England, followed on Thursday with West Indies and India.
We're getting down to it folks. Now is the time to make your moves.

Quick recap
New Zealand continues their charge through the field knocking out Bangladesh. They really creamed them, it was sad for Bangladesh. NZ put up 145, which isn't a huge number but proved to be WAY to big for Bangladesh. Although kudos to Mustafizur Rahman for a 5 wicket haul. Bangladesh just could not get past NZ's bowling. It's like they never came back after tea time. Catherine, did you see them at Patisserie Valerie? I think they might still be there. They went all out after 15.4 overs and only managed to get 70 measly runs. 3 wickets each to Elliot and Sodhi.
In the second match England edged out Sri Lanka. Which puts England through to the semis. Well done England. England opened the game and only dropped 4 wickets. Half century for Buttler and a total of 171 to chase. As good as that opening inning was, it wasn't a slaughter. Sri Lanka fought back and got close, very close. The opening batsmen for Sri Lanka dropped pretty quick but their middle order held ground. Angelo Matthews took 73 runs to the bank but at the end of 20 overs they were 10 runs shy. 4 wickets to Chris Jordan.
I am closing in on Catherine, I have her in my sites.........Anna took a dive, Bob made a surge, and Missy just keeps asking, why?? why??
Tomorrow Afghanistan will try not to embarrass themselves in front of the West Indies while India and Australia will battle it out for a semi final spot.

Do the Haka....doot doot doot doo doot doo doot do ...dooot dooot doot do doot do doot do...Do the Haka...
I'm planning to Haka my way to the top! Watch out Catherine.
England pulled off a win as did India, barely. England beat Afghanistan by 15 runs. They batted first and rode Moeen Alis's 42 not out to a total of 142. Afghanistan just could not chase. 2 wickets each for Nabi, Rashid Khan, Willey, and Adil Rashid.
In the second match India nearly blew it. They batted first and 146 whcih isn't stellar but isn't bad either. There were no real standouts for them in the batting arena. But then What happened to their bowling? Bangladesh lasted all 20 overs and did use 9 wickets trying but they fell 1 run short, that's it, 1 run. Apparently it all came down to some careful last ball planning by Dhoni and some great last ball execution by Pandya. 2 wickets each to Al-Amin Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, R. Ashwin, Jadeja and Pandya.
I am closing the gap on my MIL, Mom and Moira have been doing a little do si do, other than that things are status quo.
Tomorrow its Australia v. Pakistan - both could use the win. And then South Africa / West Indies. SA needs to win here to realistically have a chance at moving on.
