Well after that loss to Ireland I was basically writing this tournament off, but I am fully Up For It now. We might at least make a respectable showing, which is about the best you can hope from a Windies team these days.

NZ TAB pricing for $1 invested

Cheeky fiver at $2.15 which is probably fair. NZ usually hypes the bejesus out of any match with Aus but this time they look like the real deal.

Dear God please let Vettori make it through warm-ups without any injuries.

Also one of my friends offered me a ticket to the Australia game and the semi-final. Having friends owns.

As much as I'm pumped for the match, if it gets rained out, NZ win the pool.

The best part was all the lights went off and the scorer ticked off a wicket and the UAE celebrated for a few minutes before everyone realised the bail landed back in the groove.

Go UAE, they have more 40 year old office workers while at least some of the Irish are pro cricketers.

On the other hand, Ireland probably have a better chance of reaching the final 8 and the more associates making it through the better.

Ireland are full of self aggrandising country players who think they deserve test status but have never really done anything. UAE are fun loving middle aged taxi drivers who turn up to have a few laughs between fares.
