Three Match Test Series between the West Indies and Australia

Three Match Test Series between the West Indies and Australia
Its test cricket time again for the West Indies Team and once more the Caribbean cricket fans are hopeful. The three match test series between the West Indies and Australia begins tonight at the Gabba in Brisbane, Australia. Based on the performance of the ‘Windies’ in the warm up matches, expectations are high.
But can we pull if off, up against the world champions and on their turf. In recent times the ‘Windies’ has not proven very hard to beat. February 1997 was the last time that they won a test match in Australia. The last test series won in Australia was in 1992-1993 when the ‘Windies’ won 2-1.
The ‘Windies’ batting line up tonight is Christopher Gayle, Devon Smith, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Marlon Samuels and Denesh Ramdin. Our bowlers are Jermaine Lawson, Fidel Edwards, Daren Powell, Corey Collymore and Dwayne Bravo.
For Australia the line up is Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Simon Katich, as bats men. Bowlers are Shane Watson, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken and Shane Warne.
Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties. It’s not over till the fat lady sings. Let’s hope that when it’s over she will be singing calypso or reggae.
Nuff Love

Sister Mary Margaret
SISTER MARGARET MARY, WHO WORKS FOR A LOCAL HOME HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS.
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT A GAS STATION WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY.
SHE WALKED TO THE STATION TO BORROW A CAN OF GAS TO START & THEN DRIVE TO THE STATION FOR A FILL UP.
THE ATTENDANT REGRETFULLY TOLD HER THE ONLY GAS CAN HE OWNED HAD BEEN LOANED OUT BUT IF SHE WOULD WAIT, IT WAS SURE TO BE BACK SHORTLY.
SINCE THE NUN ! WAS ON THE WAY TO SEE A PATIENT SHE DECIDED NOT TO WAIT & SHE WALKED BACK TO THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FILL WITH GAS, SHE SPOTTED A BEDPAN SHE WAS TAKING TO THE PATIENT.
ALWAYS RESOURCEFUL, SHE CARRIED IT TO THE STATION & FILLED IT WITH GASOLINE, & CARRIED IT TO HER CAR.
AS SHE WAS POURING THE GAS INTO THE TANK, TWO MEN WERE WATCHING FROM ACROSS THE STREET. ONE OF THEM TURNED TO THE OTHER & SAID, "IF IT STARTS, I'M TURNING CATHOLIC".
