I am doing a Mclaren rain dance on my side! Think this is the 1st time ducky worked in our favour.

I'm never happy when a cricket game rains out, but last night I was ecstatic! They should have made Dale Steyn Man-of-the-match for just for that catch, never mind how awesome he bowled! 8)

Sri Lanka is my second team, I'm glad they won. They'll have a better chance at giving India a run for their money. If I didn't have such a crap load of work, I'd stay home tomorrow to watch the game!

I was kinda hoping to see NZ go through rather than SL, which means that Aus needed to win.

So, what's the odds of SA actually winning today? Good enough to play hookey off work and watch?

England has been playing more consistent, probably even better, cricket than SA so far in this tournament.
