England advance

Catherine did you watch the game? Did you see the streaker? Here's how one journalist put it: "England are now two wins away from lifting the cup, and the outpouring of relief at reaching the pointy end of the competition was palpable, even if it was momentarily delayed by a streaker who ran almost as many rings around ground security staff as Morgan's men did around Kane Williamson's."
I with that England are through to the semis.  NZ will most likely be ok unless Pakistan win in some amazing manner that I can't quite figure.

Tomorrow it's the Windies looking to get in a little practice against again Afghanistan. Then the final 3 matches this weekend before the semis next week.

There is lots of converging happening in our little neck of the woods.  Things are tight and there are still points to be had decisions to be made.

CONGRATULATIONS KATY!

Happy now?

Test

This is a test of the emergency blogging system, this is only a test. If this was an actual emergency all your trades would disappear and the games would be washed out

Toot toot

Yes, yes, well done James, your worm shows a nice steep slope.  But check out the leader board.  Toot, toot,  I'm tooting my own horn.

India is also tooting their horns, they beat Bangladesh by 28 runs. Solidifying their advancement to the semi finals.

Players of note: Sharma 104, Rahul 77, AlHasan 66, Saiffudin 51, 4 wickets to Bumrah (he's also tooting) and a 5 wicket haul to Rahman

Tomorrow England really need a win over New Zealand in order to move to the semis. 

Happy trading everyone.

James makes his move.

Two titles

I couldn't decide between 2 titles: Can You Hear The Drums Fernando?? Or: A Pooran Ran Ran A Pooran Ran. You choose.

Sri Lanka beat the Windies in a match for pride and Anna overtook Catherine in a tournament for a sweaty teddy.

Fernando got 104 runs for SL to help them post 338 and while Pooran made it to 118, the windies did not meet the goal, coming 23 runs short.

Tomorrow it's Bangladesh and India

24 points difference between top three.  Anybody's game.
