Well today was all about the bowlers and so it seems that Bob's strategy (does he know he has one?) might just pay off for him. He finally put some points on the board with his captain, Bond. The other player earning big points for his bowling was Pakistan's Afridi. Moira, myself, and Danial all benefited from this inspired choice but it was Mishal who really gummed up the worm by making him her captain. The New Zealand bowlers also did well. The only batsman to really do anything of note was Taylor from Zimbabwe, did anyone have Taylor from Zimbabwe?? Zimbabwe? Who knew? They kicked Australias collective butt and won by 5 wickets with only 1 ball remaining - this must have been the game to watch. I don't get to watch as all the games are played when I am at work. But, this weekend I plan to get my fill even it means I have to rise at the crack of dawn!
Here's the run down:
Zimbabwe beat Australia by 5 wickets
Pakistan beat Scotland by 51 runs
New Zealand beat Kenya by a whopping 9 wickets!

Well done, Bob! You are obviously mastering the Batter/Bowler/Batsman/Pitcher thing. And look at Katy and Misha too! Moira, getting the teddy bear prize last time does not mean you just get to shoot up the ranks like that. But folks, what was Australia doing when all of us thought the best strategy was to put them into our teams. I think the tide must have been in! It was a very exciting match at the close - lots of chewing of nails etc. Good luck for today's match. Have some fun viewing on Sunday, Missy.
Well now, that feels better - Australia getting a pounding from some real rabbits, although the Zimbabwe cricketers are known as rabbits with grit. Not grits, you Americans, grit.
So this opens a whole new strategy for me. For the first time in recorded history I included some Australians in my team and they lost - by a whole wonderful embarrassing heap. Hmmmmmmm...
I love it. Three women on top. As it should be.
Michael you finally got me where you want me. You should be nicer to your Mother-In-Law.
I have a smile on my face every morning reading Katy's wonderful blog. And of course all the great replies.
