NZ batted first and got to 211/5 with 23 balls remaining when the rains began. So play was suspended and they'll try again tomorrow. Bad news is that the weather tomorrow doesn't look any better. So, if the rain stays away they will pick up where they left off, if not then I believe India is awarded the win since they went into the tournament ahead.
No new trades to make, for now we wait
With a late score posting and coming home from the cabin I've not written. But here we are, on the eve of the first semifinal. Tomorrow India will take on New Zealand. Who will go through? Which one of us will be able to surge ahead? Who will be awarded the Robinson World Cup Sweaty Teddy of Winningness??
Nothing will happen if you don't make your trades, so go, do it now, not just now, but right now, now now. Go. I mean it. Make trades.
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.
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.
