>Not really.
Got you looking though, didn’t it?
I just thought I’d make a wee effort to keep up with the groups other than group A. Don’t worry, I don’t plan to do a preview of them all and their teams and all that stuff. Partly because it has been done (and most likely done better than I could have, I hasten to add) at Wes’s blog and at Rish’s blog but mostly because I don’t actually give a toss about any team other than Australia. The only reason I’m doing this is to help me to hazard a guess or two at who we might meet in the latter stages of the competition.
Of course, I’m going to have to call all of the posts T20 World Cup and Masturbation now, but you’ll get used to it.
Basically, as the matches are played and the group standings alter, I will try to update them so we can keep up with how everyone is looking. So, pretty soon I will no doubt be reporting that group A looks like this:
Australia (played 2, won 2, lost 0)
Bangladesh (played 2, won 1 lost 1)
Pakistan (played 2, won 0, lost 2)
Today’s matches are one from group B (NZ v SL) and one from group D (W.I. v IRE). Tomorrow, we have group C (AFG v IND) and group A (BANG v PAK).
See you tomorrow night for an update, then.
>"Masturbation" and "toss"? This blog is beginning to resemble a search engine's dream. If you happen to attract new bloggers during the period of your "T20 World Cup and Masturbation now" blogs, you'll know why they found you Sid.
>Dan the Man's team clobbered their way to the win. Nice.
>I know, but I was really hoping Ireland would beat the W.I. Did you see some of those west indian faces when Ireland were batting? Classic.
>But they are the home team! And they have had so many problems between the Board and the Players Associations that they need big performances in this tourney.Anyway, I thought once they got over 100, that Ireland would struggle. An associate team like that doesn't face genuine pace or even decent fast-medium bowling with a bit of nip that often.I suppose the ECB will be circling that 17 year old left arm slow bowling kid now.
>Bit grumpy here for not watching Ireland, but it was physically impossible. What 17 year old left arm slow bowling kid? *ears*Sid I heard that you have bagged nearly all available awards of the IPL blog battle! Now that's something!*thumbs up*
>I think I only won 2 awards, but I think "most interesting" posts is pretty worthy.Lou is talking about George Dockeril, the 17 year old who took the Windies for 3 – 16 in his four overs last night. He shall get a mention in my next post.
>And Stani, not everyone's mind is in the gutter like yours you know.Mine is, of course, but not everyone's is.
>Sorry, I just realised how crap I was early on a Saturday morning after a friday night of beer and cricket.Lou, that should have said "when ireland were bowling".
>Longer boundaries and relative silence (compared to the IPL), I'm really enjoying this!
>And no cheerleaders … it is fun, isn't it?
>Yeah, especially without the cheerleaders. Cricket is a nerd's game, we don't need 'em!
>The cheerleaders are the best I have seen so far in cricket, because their outfits don't have to follow certain restrictions and they actually know how to move. They really transport the spirit of the hosts, just like the entire native audience. Sometimes it makes you wonder if they are actually aware of the cricket match on the field. But the question is how long can you bear these plastic toot-toots. They have already started to annoy the holy one out of me.Cheers,~ Wes ~
>…well I do live with a geelong gutter bum
>You live with a geelong gutter bum … is that a person from geelong or a geelong supporter? Or what the hell is it?And you're right, Wes, there are cheerleaders. You know, I never considered them to be cheerleaders – I think because they are not so plastic as I imagine cheerleaders to be. This lot are good.
