Like picking Dead Man's Cherries
Of course I want the bat - or more precisely the Sweaty Robinson World Cup Trophy of Winningness! Its been fun playing with all of you. Looking forward to the next one!
Congratulations Anna
Just like your namesake, you may have been knocked out early but you made a miraculous recovery!! In stead of the bat I did find this lovely Cricket Seagull we could have inscribed:
Of course if you would rather have the bat, James said he'll get the plaque updated and pass it on.
The Brown Sugar Squares held onto second while the 4Bs, much like the Kiwis, did in fact get Doosrahed! If you want to check out the final standings, log into cricket web and look on the right. Click on "World Cup 2015" under "Recently Archived Teams", then scroll ALL the way to the very bottom and you will see a link to "Robinson Cricketers Rout"
New Zealand did not show themselves like they had for the rest of the tournament, a bit disapointing. McCullum went out for a duck on the fifth ball and that kinda set the stage. Elliot hung in for 83 but no one else could get anything of note going. 3 wicket hauls to both Johnson and Faulkner running New Zealand all out after 45 overs with only 183 runs to show for it. When Finch went out for a duck in the second over I am sure that New Zealnd thought maybe they could pull it out but no. Australia chased them down in 33.1 overs using up only 3 wickets. Well Done Australia
Thank you all for playing with me, its always a lot of fun. Next March the World Twenty20 tournament will be in India, who's in??

Its Finals Time
If you haven't been paying attention Australia managed to beat India ruining my bowler plans. Australia batted first and put up 328, 105 coming from Smith, with a 4 wicket haul to Yadav. India just couldn't get a good partnership going. Kohli went out with only 1 run, and Raina only got 7. Dohni had the highest with 65 but in the end they went all out after 46.5 overs and 95 runs short. Well done Australia.
So it will be New Zealand and Australia in the finals tonight. Can the little brothers show the big brothers up? Will Australia remind New Zealand why they are considered the little brothers in the first place? I am hoping for a nail-biter that goes down to the wire, even though I won't be able to watch I will be checking in with the commentary on cricinfo.
So how about us? Cricketing Seagull is in first but the Brown Sugar Squares have gone dark. Word of caution mother - eating See's in the dark is not a good idea, I've tried, it doesn't make for a very good movie snack. But, best of luck to you in hunting down your oldest. Barnett's Ball Breaking Batsmen had better watch out, my bowlers are using the Doosra, you will be left confused. The HooNus partook in to much reveling to soon, its hard to sustain that kind of revel, will they be caught by the Kailua Katchers? The Anit-Pivots have also gone dark. I'm not sure their political statements will shine through the dark but The Chartham Stikers just might be carrying a flashlight. Hartless has no hart for the Nagelators, meanwhile the Nagelators have gone dark constructing an eliminator to scrape the dark PaulpaulpaulpaulTeamPaul from their shoe. HAve you every noticed that the more you write the name Paul the funnier it looks? And Team? Well, Team is just boring so they belong on the bottom - Sweaty Teddy to them.
Good Luck tonight folks.

Final Stretch!
And then there were two. New Zealand was able to knock out South Africa - sorry Robinsons and Tucks (I admit to cheering for NZ but i was purely due to who I had on my team, nothing against the proteas) Anyway, that game had some rain delay issues and then finished in a limited over fashion. South Africa had a great opening inning putting up 281 from 43 overs but NZ just got the better of them in the end. So who will New Zealand face next? Will it be India? They have been storming their way through this tournament, undefeated. Or will it be Australia? They certainly have history on their side and a nice home court advantage.
500 points currently separates 5th from 1st. 5 people within 500 - lots of juggling can still happen, so long as we don't all choose the same 11. SO, who are you going to throw your trade to? How will you make yourself stand out? Michael has settled into the sweaty teddy role for sure but the spots just above him are still in play, so give it your all folks, TWO MORE GAMES!

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!
