India and Pakistan actually ended in a tie, which seems nearly impossible.

They settle ties with a soccer like shootout. Five Bowlers try to hit the wicket. I don't know but it seems it should be pretty easy to hit a wicket with no batsman up there. And sure enough, India's first three bowlers nailed that wicket no problem. But, shockingly, the Pakistani guys missed their first three giving the match to India.

I'm finishing up the South Africa-West Indies match now. West Indies had a batsman make a Century which was fun to see.

So far I've figured out that hitting it out of the field on the fly is a sixer. Hitting one to the boundary is called a Boundry, worth four points. And if you hit a non Boundry ball the other team tries to throw you out while you and the other batsman guy run back and forth to the opposite wicket. you can get a single,or a double that way I guess.

Anyway, it's fun to watch especially the cheerleaders who are very, ummmmmm . . . Energetic.


.

them cheerleaders are new, they were introduced in maybe in the last 3-4 years. ties are pretty rare indeed, but i think they happen more in this new format of 20 overs (1over= 6 "pitches"), which results in 3 hour games instead of 7-8 hrs.

didn't know about the tiebreaker thing, that's crazy. can't even believe they just let the bowlers go at it with no batters.

centuries are awesome indeed, smitty. sachin tendulkar hit the first double century ever a few years ago, that was nuts. he was my avatar for a while. he'd be like india's michael jack schmidt, except that he is a semi-decent change of pace reliefer, too.

Well, he's a big dude tall and wide. Long ass beard and hair plus sandals every day. When it's warm out he wears jorts. Possibly the same pair everyday.

Saw him eat at the subway on campus a few weeks ago and he bought two foot longs, two bags of chips and what appeared to be a bucket of soda.

Dude also loves the drugs. He's borderline impossible to communicate with if you ever see him at a party.

Cecil Chao Sze-tung is Hong Kong's perennial playboy. Call him the city's Hugh Hefner, minus the pajamas and add a pair of shades.
Never married, real estate and shipping tycoon Chao, 76, has been a staple of the Hong Kong tabloid and social rags since the 1970s. For over 40 years he's proudly paraded what seems to be an endless supply of female arm candy in front of the flashing bulbs.

Tales of his romantic dalliances are tabloid staples. He once boasted about having slept with over 10,000 women. Just last year the septuagenarian Chinese Casanova, as to prove his virility has not been dashed by time, posed in a magazine photo spread surrounded by young bikini-clad models.

He has fathered three children from three different women.

He has thumbed his nose at the institution of marriage. Until this week.

Chao's respect for a traditional marriage was prompted by his daughter Gigi, 33, being quoted recently in the Beijing press saying she had married her long-time girlfriend Sean Eav earlier this year in Paris. Hong Kong currently still does not legally recognize same-sex marriages.

Rather than accepting his daughter's decision, Chao has announced a dowry-bounty of sorts: HK$500 million ($65 million US Dollars) to the man who can woo his lesbian daughter away from her wife.

"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted," Chao told the South China Morning Post while dismissing reports of his daughter's same-sex marriage as being "false."

"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he said.

His offer has been met with an enthusiastic response around the world. Within a day, Gigi's Facebook and Twitter accounts were inundated with requests and followers.

On her public facebook feed, Gigi wrote: "where do all these people come from? Jerusalm(sic)? Ethiopia? Istanbul? Ridiculous."

Meanwhile on Gawker.com, a shirtless reader - allegedly a Brazilian Algae-researching-mountain-climber - is interested. He wrote the website, asking for help to connect: "I think this girl is gorgeous and as I love women I am willing to fly to hk to meet with her. Can you please let me know how to arrange a meeting with them?"

Speaking to the SCMP Wednesday, Gigi Chao laughed off her father's marriage bounty, telling the newspaper she found it all "quite entertaining."

In the interview the younger Chao would not confirm or deny the rumors of her marriage and her sexual orientation.

"I'm not afraid to admit anything. But I do want to respect my parents," she told the paper.

Much of Hong Kong society maintains fairly conservative views on homosexuality. Gigi Chao acknowledges this telling the paper, "It's still an uncomfortable issue for many people."

When asked by the SCMP whether her father disapproved of her alleged same-sex marriage because his "pronounced heterosexuality," Gigi simply replied: "He loves the attention."
