England are also well due for a collapse. Everything is going too well. The country's leadership is crumbling. Its cricket team must soon reflect this.
Hold on a minute Nightmare! By saying Australia are toast, are you saying that Pakistan will toast them or have you completely ignored Pakistan's semifinal against Australia?
I do hope it is the former and you're not displaying typical English snobbishness which has lingered over from the days of the empire.
Stani - be calm. Pakistan have clearly not played as well as they did last year, and Australia are on a (now shortened) run. She's obviously assuming that Australia will continue, but she doesn't totally discount a shock win by Pakistan.
In fact, she would rather like it if Pakistan did win, because England won that game rather brilliantly.
Nightwatchgirl's Pick of the Cricket News this week
Farewell Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. NWG always enjoys it when useful Australian batsmen retire, even if one of them is moody and small.
Stuart Broad is on NWG's naughty list. If she ever meets him she would like to educate him in how to be a polite human being instead of being mean to Sir Ian Botham. It's not on Stuart. And that's probably why your heel hurts. Just saying.
Of all the things to invent in the world of cricket, did we really need wickets that light up when they get hit? NWG is doubtful. The Big Bash therefore falls short in terms of innovation. She would have preferred one fielder to have springs in their shoes so they could jump really high or something equally as funny/ridiculous/dangerous.
NWG would like to advertise herself. For once. She advises you all to listen to this podcast and note all the kind things they say about NWG...
NWG would like to thank Patrick Kidd at The Times for putting NWG in the top 50 cricket blogs in the world. She is overwhelmed.
Andrew Symonds makes bold statement: "I'm in a position of responsibility and I can't live irresponsibly. I've realised that." Groundbreaking. (NWG can't bear to take this down)
Ashes Forum
Come and check out the new Ashes Forum on Silly Point with Nightwatchgirl. Don't be shy...
It is my mission to make cricket understandable to all. So along with cricket news, there will also be explanations of particular rules and any other weird business that happens on or off a cricket field.

You disappoint me Mare.

Liar. Sad.
I'm always calm.
Stani - NWG never lies. She might try and extend a truth, but she never lies.
NWG is glad you're always calm, you'll need that for tonight's game. Should be a cracker.
You're gonna have to try harder to make up with me than that.
I'm disappointed in you Mare.
As for the game; whatever God wills.
OK, NWG understands she's annoyed you. To make up for it she's finally spoken to Katie, who's free next weekend.
There, don't say NWG doesn't do anything for you.
Mare, bloody hell, I can't just meet her. She'll have to come over and speak to the parents and stuff.
I do have respect for people's daughters you know.
Stani - NWG takes it all back. Pakistan are having a dream of a start.
And she'll speak with Katie and her parents. It'll all be sorted.
