Hi,
Had a wonderful weekend, the weather was great and also got the time for some sport. Not only watching but also doing myself - although that was fun too especially with the cricket world cup going on in India. The games were shocking.......
The first quarter final game Pakistan battered the Windies by 10 wickets. 10 wickets and 175 balls to spare!!!! That is like playing only half the game. With the Windies only making 112 - it was always going to be an easy score to chase.
The second quarter was a humdinger with India on home grounds against the favourites, the Aussies. The Aussies hit a fairly good score of 260 however India got to that total fairly easily with 14 balls to spare. The third was with SA and NZ. Disappointing!! SA made an early exit - totally unexpected and shocking!!! Beaten by NZ and you bet that "CHOKED" was in the headlines. Was really sad however the boys did not play well at all.
The last one was with another surprise was with Sri Lanka and England. I expected England to win however Sri Lanka stream rolled them. I noticed on one blogpost that the guy called it "the mother of all spankings". England sent home and Sir Lanka played an outstanding game. Both openers made their 100's as they walked away with a brilliant win.
This sets up the stage of 2 great semi-final games. Sri Lanka will take on NZ and India will play Pakistan. Nail biting games and I get the feeling that it’s going to be India and Sri Lanka in the finals. Wednesday we will know who with world cup winners are...
