Watch out Catherine.  We are coming for you.

I guess Faf doesn't like being called a sloth

Where has this South African team been all tournament?? They just squashed Sri Lanka with 9 wickets to spare.  SL had a hohum innings going all out at 203. Enter duPlessis and Amla. Those two just kept scoring 96 and 80 respectively.  The only wicket goes to Malinga but clearly 1 wicket is not enough.

SA win doesn't help them advance to the semis but it might be the nail in the proverbial coffin for Sri Lanka,  they'd need to win their next 2 matches,  have England lose theirs, and still come out ahead in the net run rate tie breaker for which they are currently way behind.

Australia tops the table with 12, India and New Zealand both have 11, and England is just hanging on to fourth with 8. But right behind the 3 lions are Bangladesh and Pakistan both with 7.  Most have 2 matches left except India with 3.

Tomorrow Pakistan needs a win over Afghanistan and the two top teams can preview the finals with Australia taking on New Zealand.

Shami shami cocopop

India trounced the West Indies by 125 runs.  Kohli got 72 and Shami had a 4 wicket haul.  West Indies went all out on 143 in the 35th over.

England may be struggling but Catherine seems to be in cruise control right now.  I'm back on track but still behind Anna. Michael is trying desperately to overtake Missy who has her lights blinding James.  I think Henry made a pit stop and Moira needs gas.

Hang in there folks, more to play.

Tomorrow sloth Africa (my phone auto corrected south to sloth, I left it as it seems fitting) takes on Sri Lanka
