Dear Diary,

With the group rounds finished and the quarter-finalists decided all cricket has come to a halt in the World Cup while the remaining teams gather their thoughts and take a few days to get ready for the knockout phase of the competition.

The nations strong enough to make it through are ...

Sri Lanka v South Africa, Wednesday 18 March SCG

India v Bangladesh, Thursday 19 March MCG

Australia v Pakistan, Friday 20 March Adelaide Oval

New Zealand v West Indies, Saturday 21 March Wellington

And because all the players are taking a break from playing for a few days I think I will have a break from writing my diary for a few days too.

Well, I’m not traveling to any games for a while (so there's not likely to be any drunkenly putting on two pairs of trousers to avoid paying excess baggage fees in airport stories to tell) and there aren't any games for a while either so the action has died down for a while. And now that I’ve commandeered my Melbourne mates, Myles, couch again I just intend to kick back and chill for a few days and recharge the batteries. Myles has the entire Tom Baker years of Doctor Who on hard drive and it sounds like a challenge to watch them all before the week is out. A challenge I am keen to rise to, or sit down for as the case may be.


Besides, only good boys have time to write a diary.

But, just for fun, here are my predictions of who will through to the Semi Finals.

South Africa, India, Australia and new Zealand

The next game I have tickets to is the Big Game: India v. Bangladesh game at the M.C.G.
I cant wait!
