And what a match it was, it had all of the epic elements that we all LOVE about cricket and Pakistan certainly brought a can of whoop-ass to the cricket pitch. Ricky Pouting behaved atrociously by not walking when he got caught by Kamran Akmal, even though he acknowledged he got a thick edge; and Brad Haddin momentarily lost his mind and thought he was an ice hockey player and started pushing and shoving the lovely lads when they appealed the umpire's decision. Anyways, the Australian team behaved badly indeed. Which makes me love my favourite team even more because they behaved like gentlemen as always! Younis Khan...what a class act! I'm so glad Pakistan won; it shows that bad behaviour gets you nowhere.
Bangladesh lost badly to South Africa for some reason. I'm always bewildered by the Bangladesh team; they have so much talent but then freeze with stage fright. They play well, they've got a fielding and batting coach; perhaps what they need now is a drama coach. That's right, these chaps need some acting lessons; as the saying goes, act confident, you'll become confident. Come on, Bangladesh, you've got the skillz to pay the billz, now you just have to act like it. Work on your stage presence and you'll see that after the world cup you'll be picking up victories like ripe blackberries in September...easy pickin's!
I'll get back to the cooking stuff tomorrow, I've got lots of things to catch up on today. In the meantime, appreciate the humour in the pic below. We found this isolated little village in South Australia. Must say I loved the name!
