A 7 Wicket Day

Michael and I got up early and were able to catch our first full game of the tourney. We watched as Bangladesh came out whacking the ball all over the place and dropping wickets like hot potatoes. Then in the second half South Africa answered with a collective cool and ended up winning by 7 wickets. It was a pretty exciting game despite the fact that both teams had already been guarenteed to go through.

In the other game, New Zealand put up a good fight, Taylor putting 62 runs on the board but Jayasariya is on fire and his 61 runs helped Sri Lanka beat New Zealand by 7 wickets.

Bob has taken the lead with all his Sri Lankan picks but he is complaining that Bond conceding 60 runs and losing him 10 points (Bonds his captain) is enough to piss off the good humour man! However, good humopur man or not, well done to Bob for kicking all our butts.

Tomorrow should be a great day of cricket with NZ taking on India, Aus going up against Bangladesh and the Proteas hoping to match their rugby team and keep the Lions from putting any score on the board. Anna, Missy, and Bob will all be here with Michael and I enjoying a Bloody Mary and all the cricket action.

And here's the worm:
