Boy George takes the Wind out of the Windies OR T20 World Cup and Masturbation #2

Some stuff that has happened so far:

• The Kiwis - those cheeky minxes -  teased us for a bit, pretending they were going to lose and then went ahead and won. And completely messed up my predictions.I am drafting a letter to the NZCB first thing.
• Dilshan and Sangakkara were uninspiring while Big Jess Ryder scared the pants off everyone, until he was gone and the Kiwis looked out of it ... for a while ...
• Jacob Oram managed to stay fit long enough to change his team's fortunes and then left That-Other-McCullum to bring it home.
• Chris Gayle faked an injury because he couldn't be arsed playing a small team like Ireland
• A mouthy Irish keeper got under Chanderpaul's skin.
• England's Ireland's young spinner, George Dockrell, shocked the West Indies by taking 3 - 16 in his four overs.
• An impressive fielding display by Ireland kept the West Indies to 138 and I, at least, hoped there would be an upset.
• Darren Sammy became seemingly omnipresent as he single-handedly bowled Ireland out for 68 and
• India shocked no one by putting on their spikey books and trampling right over Afghanistan. They were merciless, I tell you, merciless.

So, that's the first matches from groups B, C and D done; the first of group A is underway as I write. The groups look like this at the end of day 2:

Group B:

New Zealand

Zimbabwe

Sri Lanka

Group C:

India

South Africa

Afghanistan

Group D:

West Indies

England

Ireland

Australia plays their first match, against Pakistan, tomorrow. It will be Sunday evening here, the night before a bank holiday, so there is bound to be very many beers and very little blogging. You'll have to wait until Monday for my response.

Unless we lose, then I may just sulk for fear that Stani will post jibes instead of comments.
