Finally a worm...

So close I can taste it.

Things are shaking up

Seems like all these earthquakes in California have jostled things up a bit.  James overtook Catherine (do you think she's saving trades for a big captain surge?) And Henry overtook Moira, what does Henry know that Catherine didn't??? Hmmmm.....

James,  I trust all is well with you guys? Im assuming you've been feeling the quakes?

Meanwhile,  Bangladesh's Afridi's 6 wickets were not enough to overcome UlHaq (100) and Azam (96). Pakistan won by 94 runs.

Tomorrow 2 final games before the semis.  India/ Sri Lanka and Australia/ South Africa.  As it stands now,  the first semi will be Australia and new Zealand, the second India and England.  Unless Australia loses tomorrow and India wins, then I'm not sure.

So plan and plot and toil and fret and hold onto something solid, we're almost at the end.

Reach For The Stars

Happy 4th and 2nd to Anna!

In game that mattered to no one, the Windies beat Afghanistan and Anna beat Catherine. So,  I guess it mattered to Anna and Gayle.

Hope got 77 runs,  and Lewis and Pooran a lot as well, they ran 58 times.  The Windies ran a total of 311 times.  Shah ran 62 and Alikhil 86 but in the end Afghanistan needed to run 23 more times.  Brathwaite didn't run so well but he did haul in 4 wickets.

Tomorrow another game ( Bangladesh and Pakistan) that doesn't really matter but for which you have to trade and who knows? It may matter, and you may just run past the guy in front of you.

Happy 4th!

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?
