WI vs Australia - match washed out!
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: Dil Mein Jaagi (Sur)
Topic: Cricket
So, Angela's parents left this morning ... was supposed to get up and watch the match at that time ... but felt sleepy ... so snuck back into my bed after saying bye to them.

Deciding to catch the second half of the match about 7:00 am ... at that time Australia, was 12/2 ... or something like that ... when rain deciding to come pouring down ... supposingly some storm ... so to keep us occupied they showed back the morning's half of play ... so you see it was a good thing I didn't stay up and watch it. Lara got a horrible out decision ... they appealed for a catch ... and he didn't even hit the ball ... there was like maybe 6 inches bwt the ball and bat ... he was not pleased!!

Well ... eventually they decided they could play ... overs were limited to 35, with a run rate of 8.75 (or somewhere about there) required. I thought we were over, when Ricky Pointing ... gave us a blast off Dillon's first over with 11 runs ... but then we pulled back with Collins picking up 2 wickets in the next over. I was getting excited (before in the previous over I was so frustrated I was gobbling down caramel and potato chips) ... I figured we had a chance to win ... so, ran upstairs and grabbed my phone and wallet (for the telephone card) ... because I was poised to call Ritch ... to shout how we won if we did ... a Dillon over, produced another wicket ... we had them at 45/5 at 11 overs ... and then the most horrible thing happened ... rain came pouring down ... so, I waited to see if it will abate ... but eventually the match was called a 'no result' ... the Australians must be thanking their lucky stars at the moment! Does WI have any luck whatsoever in this series?? Excepting for Hinds century?? Because without that century we will be in a horrible position, considering we had only one wicket remaining at the end of 50 overs. Anyway, so bit frustrated about that ... since I stayed home to see the match ... and then I had to hurry to the OU.
