The Final 4

Well, India evicted South Africa by 37 runs. It didn't seem like SA was ever able to put anything together as one after another of their batsmen went out. Then Pakistan predictably beat Bangladesh but if anyone had the foresight to have the Bangladeshi, Siddique, they could have racked up some major points with his 71 run streak. Then Australia beat Sri Lanka by an amazing 10 wickets!! Sri Lanka only put up 101 runs which Australia's opening batsmen, Gilchrist and Hayden, handled easily knocking Sri Lanka out of the tourney.



As you can tell from the worm, competition in the middle of the pack is getting fierce. With the final game approaching, those of you with lots of trades could really do some damage - so watch out everyone! It is time to cut your proteas and cage your lions as the final four are: New Zealand, India, Pakistan, and Australia. Both Semi Final matches are on Saturday with NZ v. Ind, and Pk v. Aus. We're being denied hacked internet access to the game so we may have to settle for reading the play by play online.....or we could fly to England for the weekend........tough call.

Have a nice day off tomorrow and be ready for the action on Saturday!

The bed is ready. Let us know what time your flight arrives. How silly that you can't watch. The SA match was a shock to the system - they really didn't play well but we have to say that the Indian bowling was superb. Didn't watch the Aus game but 10 wickets is a goodly margin. so now is the time for the trades - how can one plan logically when there seems to be no logic in it anyway - good luck all!

There's not a lot that a South African girl can say, really, except possibly "gosh". Again.

But I guess this leaves me with some trades, so ruthlessness will be the name of my game from here on.

No decision, really. Get on the plane tonight.
