A fall from grace........
or more like a fall from reveling? Moira has seen the power of one choice in the game we call Fantasy Cricket. But there are still 3 games left, three opportunities to make the inspired choice, three chances for glory, three more stabs at improving your place. So, don't lose hope, you all can do it, whatever it is. For me? Well, I have been mucking around in this top group, I'd like to soar past a few of them. Let's see what I can do today.
New Zealand will be playing South Africa - sure wish I could watch this one, it should be a goodun'
Then on Thursday (well wed. night for me) Australia will battle India - another epic game I wish I could see. Michael was trying to find away for us to watch. And he found one, it involved $40 and watching the game on my phone............no thanks, I can't even imagine the eyestrain from watching 8 hours on my phone.
The winner of those two matches will battle it out in the Final on Sunday (Saturday night). I think the top 4 teams are all well deserving of their spots and I suspect 3 nail biting matches ahead. I still predict New Zealand / India in the final and I will further predict New Zealand take the title. As for us? Its to close to predict, anything can happen.
Have fun!

I've learned my lesson
Going dark is clearly NOT the way to go. I have fallen to 5th now behind my Mom and my brother. Well no more, no more I say. Today is my day, I am off to great places, and will I succeed? Yes, I will indeed (98 3/4% guaranteed)! Kathy Hart also had a late surge ahead of Paul - are any of those folks even playing??
Australia has earned their spot in the semi finals against India. They beat Pakistan by 6 wickets with 97 balls remaining. Pakistan put up 213 with no major batting standouts and then it only took Australia 33.5 overs to chase it down. 4 wicket haul to Hazelwood, anyone pick Hazelwood?? I think he had like 50 total points before yesterday. Well done if you did, I did not. In Australian batting news, Smith got 65 and 64 not out to Watson.
Tonight is the last quarter final with New Zealand taking on the West Indies.
Side note: I was just reading that the New Zealand team was at a fan event posing for "selfies" with folks. Here's my question, is it really a selfie if you pose with someone else? I'm just asking. Paul? Any sage advice? I figure right now half of our crew are saying to themselves, "what's a selfie??" To them I say, "google it" and now they are all saying, "how do I google again??"

Happy Birthday Missy!
and while we wish you the happiest of days, we will not go easy on you in the cricket - I am sure you would settle for nothing less. So.... India beat Bangladesh, this is not a surprise but Bangladesh did conduct themselves quite well in the opening inning of the match and so it wasn't quite a cake walk for India. To quote cricinfo: "And the first innings finally comes to a close with India getting themselves up to an imposing total of 302 for 6, not a bad feat considering how well the Bangladeshi bowlers pulled them back after their rather spirited start in the early overs. Rohit Sharma played an imperious 137 to guide India to a suitable position, with Suresh Raina providing the adequate foil with his 57-ball 65. The late-hitting of Ravindra Jadeja ensured India could just get over the line and post a 300-plus total in the end. " That was at the innings break. India polished off Bangladesh pretty quickly they went all out 109 runs short. Other people of note, 3 wicket haul for Ahmed and a 4 wicket haul to Yadav.
In our game, My Mom and I passed James (was that your gift to Mom James??) while everyone else remained stagnant. And while I was checking the game progress at midnight I looked at the teams around me to see who I should be shouting for and noticed that Anna and I had the EXACT SAME TEAM! Down to the captain. I will not go so far as to say that she copied me, but I did make my trades first, so............ Now that paranoia is starting to creep in, I may have to go dark. It's tough, the choices are limited this late in the game. what to do, what to do...................
Australia and Pakistan tonight. Will the Hawk take flight? Should we be Afridi? Will Clarke discover new territories? Is it Elementary my dear Watson? Or maybe its all a double helix........who knows, or is it HooNus?
