Ok, so here's the confusing part. I know that my mom and I both got emails from cricket web saying that the competition was starting and mentioning that they were making a change with all rounders. The email said you would get 7 batsmen, 1 wicketkeeper, and 3 bowlers. No all rounders - they were all going to be classified as batsmen. So I went to cricket web and checked my team. Sure enough it now has my 2 all rounders classified as batsmen and I looked to see what my choices were if I wanted to make some trades - again it was as the email said with all the old all rounders now slotted in with all the batsmen. BUT, when I look at anyone elses team it says they have opener1, opener2, 3 batsmen, 1 wicketkeeper, 1 all rounder, and 4 bowlers????????? I don't get that at all. SO......check your teams. Just to be sure you've got the players you want in the slots you want.
Other than that I am getting pretty excited to get this party started. I am looking forward to once again showing Paul just who is the better cricket fan. Good Luck to everyone and may you have all your ducks in a row - I'm planning on NO DUCKS!

Welcome Back
Hi all, so it is that time of year again where I sit down on a semi daily basis to ramble about cricket. I certainly never thought my life would come to this - I blame Michael. So as you can tell I have dusted off the old blog and we're getting ready for some new fun. I haven't asked him but I certainly hope Michael will be dusting off the worm, its not a proper tournament without a worm.
Ok, so if you haven't already done so you need to make a team and join the competition. Go to the cricket web site (link on the right), log in (you can log in with your old info if you remember it), create a team for the ICC World Twenty20 2010, then once you have a team click on "user comp - join", enter the user competition key 1271432164, sit back relax and plot your next move.
Games begin April 30th but the trash talk can begin now!

Pakistan Win the Cup!
and our little competition comes to an end. Pakistan played a great game. The bowled first and Razzak came straight out of the gates and got 3 early wickets. Then Sangakarra hung in there for a long time racking up 64 runs to give Pakistan 138 to chase. Pakistan wasted no time and no batsmen. Afridi sealed the deal with a half century and Pakistan won by 8 wickets with 8 balls remaining.
How did we do? well, Sandeeps Dream Team didn't wake up to all of the noise from Blair's Bombers, The smashing windows shattered glass onto Aussie rules footie, and Harts Gas let one fly right in the face of Lynda's Goggas. The Old Boggers were the ones who dusted the Dusters and Henry's Hobos put a hex on Bob's Chiloquin. Agnoman! the Flying Toasters beat them, Gonubie Chinas have Bubble gum on their shoes, and Arvinders Drag-ons left Team Jiminy off. Finally, The Great Gryllidae left Dr. Teeth nashing at their heels.
It's been another fun tournament. I hope you all have enjoyed yourselves. Take a break, do some research and we'll see you all back here in 2011 for the next World Cup!!

The Windies had a Gayle a blowing......
but Dilshan blew it out! The game was kinda boring except for two things. Dilshan was an opening batsman who went 98 not out! and then Matthews (anyone heard of him???) bowled 3 wickets in the first over of the West Indies inning! Other than that you just need to know that Sri Lanka will be playing in the finals against Pakistan. Plan and plot accordingly.
As for the worm? Don't know, Michael hasn't made one yet - he is afraid to see that I am still ahead of him. I do know that Anna didn't quite catch Arvinder despite Suliemanns great show and there was some movement in the middle - Catherine moved up I believe as did Katy Soucy and James. Last chance to knock out your rival on Sunday. I'm making eggs benedict so get here early!

Be Afridi, be very Afridi
Pakistan (or should I say Afridi) knocked South Africa out!! An unexpected outcome today as South Africa had been undefeated and was arguably the favorite to win the tournament. And Afridi was definately the man of the match performing both with his batting (51 runs) and his bowling (2 wickets). Kallis tried damn hard to catch up (64 runs) but after that a bunch of wickets fell and Pakistan's bowling wasn't giving up any boundaries leaving South Africa short 7 runs. This made me happy - only because I know a lot of you had South African captains and now you, like me, are without!
with everyone's teams pretty similar it came down to small differences and minor nudging in the worm. Arvinder has bumped Anna from 3rd - can she come back? there was much jostling in the 5-10 positions and Sandeep seems to have settled into last place. Two more games, make your moves, time is running out.
