CRICKET.

So, I watched the cricket last night.
It was epic.
Australia were doing okay with the bat, like Haddin was smashing fours but they kept going out, and no one could make over 50. :(.
And then, Hussey and Marsh came in and had to get Australia back on track.
And they did SUCH a good job. Hussey hadn't really been playing well in recent Test matches so he came out and played Test match-style cricket (i.e. no risks, which means he didn't smash boundaries much) in a One Day match. :P.
And they just made singles, which meant a lot of running, but hey, they got there.

Anyway, then Sri Lanka came in to bat.
And they had to make 240. And Sangakkara and Jaywardene (can't spell, sorry) were like going really well and stuff and I was like, "Oh no, they are going to win... :(."
But Glee was on, so I had to stop watching the cricket. :/.

RECAP OF GLEE:
It was epic.
They did Rocky Horror, and although I had NO idea what was going on, it was still good. :D
Like, Mercedes was Frank-n-furter which means she got to dress like a transvestite. :P. And she was really good at it, even though Frank-n-furter is a boy dressed as a girl, whatever.

And when Emma was singing that Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me song (whatever), she was dancing around Will, and Will was like so mesmerised with the gazing and all that. GET OVER HER, WILL, SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU. No, seriously, she doesn't. Okay, she might, but she has CARL. Carl is good for her, she's not so paranoid with Carl. :).

Another highlight:
Sam, in gold shorts. Wow. Actually, the highlight was Sam, just being present. :D.

Anyhoo, then I watched the cricket (when Glee was finished).
And I missed six wickets! Like, I missed the whole part when Doherty made a mess of the Sri Lankan team. :P.
But anyway, I came back, and Malinga and Mathews were like smashing fours and sixes all over the place and even though they only had 2 wickets in hand, they looked like they could win. :/.

And the bowlers could NOT get the batters out. Clarke was being captain, and he tried every possible way and every possible bowler (except one, but I'll come to that later) but they would not leave. :(.
Then, when the scores were level and Sri Lanka had one more run to make, they hit the ball and Malinga must have been so confident that he'd make it because he got RUN OUT. Ha! So, Murali came in and he was on strike and (t)Watto was bowling and I was like, "please be a draw, come on, please" (because everything is a draw in Australia this year, I mean come on, I've already predicted the Ashes result) and Murali edged it and..... it went for four. :'(.

Whatever.
And the crowd were going ballistic because they were mostly Sri Lankans. :/.

Anyway, the bowler that Clarke didn't try was Steve Smith. I have no idea why. He only bowled 3 overs and had 8 runs scored against him. WHY DIDN'T THEY BOWL HIM? I think he might have been injured. What even.

And I think Clarke should've rung up Ponting. WHERE WAS PONTING? He'd know what to do. He is a good captain, but they're probably saving him for the Ashes. Like, Dougie Bollinger didn't play, probably for the same reason.

Whatev.
In summary, the game was like-
Australia: We're gonna win, we're gonna win~.
Sri Lanka: We gonna bowl you out, mwa ha ha.
Australia: Yay, we made 240, try and beat that, haha!
Sri Lanka: We will, hahahahaha.
Australia: YAY, WE GOT SIX WICKETS, WOOOO~, WE CAN WIN, OMG OMG OMG...................................................... lol jk, cbf.

And yeah. Enjoy your day, peeps!
