Semi Finals

Athlai

Not Terrible
It was a piece of bravado to demonstrate how little I thought of South Africa's chances. Hope its not going to bite me tonight is all... And I nominated Murali because I'm planning a "eyes bulging" mid-delivery freeze frame kinda thing...
Is there any other way to think of Murali? :laugh:

But I LIKE Watson. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and offer up a wager with Watson as your avatar as the stakes?
OK, I'll take you up on that. If Watson scores 50 or takes 3 or more wickets I'll have his avatar for a month. Any player you're ummm...not terribly fond of?

A question for SL fans.

If SL were to win the cup, who would you prefer to have beaten in the final?
Australia, no question. For so many reasons:

1. Class. They're unquestionably the best side in the world -- any WC win would be devalued without beating the best.

2. Smugness. They're such a smug bunch of buggers. I'd just love to see those self-satisfied grins wiped off Hayden, Ponting and Tait's faces.

3. History. The mighty Aravinda himself had one of the best all-round days ever in the '96 WC final. I'd LOVE it if Sanath repeated that in a few days' time.

However, who would I prefer SL to be playing? SA -- it would be an easier final :ph34r:

Ok - although owing to the closeness of the final, it will be a short-lived thing - unless Australia win of course.

I'll have the Kiwi player of your choice as my av for a month or until the Smith/Murali bet takes effect (I made them first).

Some terms and conditions however:
- I don't lose if Watson is not out, but less than 50, unless he's faced at least 70 deliveries.
- I don't lose if Watson come's in with less than 8 overs to go and scores whatever amount of runs he makes at more than a run a ball
- If he's injured during the match, bet's off.

So: in tonight's semi final - if Watson scores a 50 or takes 3 wickets (3? 2 would be more sporting), you have his picture as an avatar for a month.
If he doesn't, subject to the conditions I've listed above, I'll have the Kiwi player of your choice as my avatar for a month, or until either South Africa or Sri Lanka win the WC.

Sound fair?
