Final Match Tomorrow!!

I assume by now you all know that the West Indies beat India. Seems whoever I think will win does not. Looks like a captain change for me. Kohli lead India to an impressive 192 with 89 of those runs. And India only dropped 2 wickets, so it was all looking good. But apparently India can't bowl, so......... Only dropping 3 wickets, West Indies chased it down with 2 balls remaining. Simmons had 82 and a half century to Charles. Why didn't I slot Simmons in?? Why?? He was on my short list. Ahh well....


As for us: The only switch after that game was James being struck down by Henry's Chartham Strikers. So one more match to make your moves. One more match to revel in the glory or wallow in misery. One more match of Cricket fun. England and the West Indies, who will it be?? Can England overcome years of choking to take home the prize?? Can the West Indies be disciplined enough to win? Will the Conquistadors dodge the Cannon fire? Third place is just about anyone's game. And what about our overall scores?? Catherine still has the lead there. Not sure by how much but I can tell you, I am hoping to take home ALL the glory, so she better watch out.

Good Luck Everyone!

Robinsons take over



Who Knew? England!

England had a massive win today to take them into the finals over New Zealand. I really thought NZ was going all the way, but they didn't just lose, they got beat, big time. NZ batted first and put up 153. Not a stellar total. Highest scoring batsmen was Munro with 46. They needed to do better, really, this is the semi finals here. 3 wicket haul to Stokes. Anyone have that guy??

So England went in to bat and they made it look easy, like they were playing Ireland or someone. Roy hit 78 and they only dropped 3 wickets. The 153 was easily chased down in 17.1 overs. So well done England. They only have to keep from choking in one more game. They could do this people! What's the word at Patisserie Valerie?? Is everyone all a buzz? Or are they "cautiously optimistic?"

Next semi starts in a little while and will be India v. West indies, should be a good one, which I could watch. Maybe I'll force the kids to watch the end with me........

21 points!

I am hanging on for dear life. The Chuddley Cannons have 19 trades, Conquistaors have 9. Will it matter? Can the fungus grow to such heights? And what about this hottly contested next group? Will the Veg spring a Hoodoo? Or will the Strikers stay of fire? Can Mfforeel and the Vasawati want in on the action but what about the Real Deal? I think they got dealt out. And Hartless may be getting the sweaty teddy but they are doing much better than Michael. Does anyone even remember what his teams name was again? He disappeared. We have one day off and then the quest continues.......

SA beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets, yes 8. SL batted first and only put up 120 which Amla, deKock, and duPlessis chased down without to much bother. Half Century to Amla.

On Wednesday the Semi Finals get underway with New Zealand and England.

And I happen to know that The Conquistadors, the Fungus, and Vasawatti may be out of wifi range until Thursday. Sure hope they figure out a way to get their trades done. We will accept NO whining or excuses.

No change, but Oh so close.
