Twilight and Shadow; go join.

So I just finished watching ONLY THE BEST FUCKING CRICKET MATCH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! South Africa vs West Indies. Final ODI. We lead the series. If they win, they go home with a draw. If we win, well we kick their ass. So Lara and his boys won the toss. We go in to bat. Looks hopeless. Kallis smacks a couple of 4s and 6s. Gets 153 before getting caught out. Then it comes down to 60 runs required off 48 balls. Nail-biting fucking stuff! I've chewed off all my nails. Eventually it was 10 required off 10. Then they take 2 wickets. Bye-bye Rudolph and and Kluesner. Boucher and Pollock come in to bat. They suck ass. Pollock doesn't get a chance until its 1 required off 3. They wait 5 minutes, both teams, preparing for the final showdown. Pollock is up. He hits a 6. Straight up and over. We win by 6 runs with 4 wickets in hand.

I was so anxious, I started crying on 303/5. Literally, I broke down crying. I smoked my ass off and yelled and screamed and swore a lot (but not as much as when I watch rugby).

So yay! We won the series. The Windies go home empty-handed. Our boys are getting on a plane to NZ. We're gonna kick some ass over there.

Best fucking cricket game EVER!

My apologies to those whose countries weren't colonized by Queen Victoria.
