England win!

So yesterday I put my pride on the line and said I want to see England in the final four.
And OMG(!!) they actually won a game.

All hail Collingwood, the ugly.
And that Irish guy.

Perhaps, it's juvenile to say, "I told you so"; so I will not.
Instead, I'll sport a smug smile and, in celebration of England's shock victory...
Wait.
When did I start caring about England??

Wierd.

Anyway, all I can say to England is:

I forgive you for Mike Atherton.

I forgive you for Andrew Miller.

I forgive you for Nasser Hussain.

I forgive you for Freddie Flintoff.

I forgive you for not showing up for the Chennai test.

P.S. Someone has been leaving me messages in Japanese... and I must be getting old (and cranky) for I haven't snooped around looking for transliteration software.. (*sigh*) English please!

11 Maidens bowled!!:

Shocking ! You didn't mention the whining of Sangakkara after the match. Twice in the post match interview he said ' this is not a good ODI wicket'.

Ahem the wicket was same for both teams but SL are just a one track ( i.e low, slow) team. It showed up once again. I couldn't believe him whining that the pitch didn't take spin !!! Did he forget he was in South Africa !!!! What a tosser.

A meaningful much anticipated neighbourhood rivalry! National pride and patriotism at stake. Aren’t those ever so wonderful things! Fasten your seatbelts, may the contest commence ………

TG,

I did not see the closing stages of the match.
If it's true then all I can say is he hasn't seen the Premadasa!
