I have not been blogging about the cricket because I haven’t got a clue what to say. This England team has achieved the remarkable feat of being more unpredictable than the Pakistanis. They have also produced some heart-stoppingly exciting games.

I should apologize to all of my readers in the West Indies and Bangladesh. There is no way that England should have won today’s game, given how badly they played for much of it. In fact, aside from beating The Netherlands, I don’t think any of their results in this tournament went the way they should have done. I have no idea what is going to happen next. Bangaldesh to beat South Africa, I guess. Nothing else would be sufficiently bizarre.
