I finally win something!

That's right folks, Omar at omarlovescricket finally wins a competition related to cricket. The email that was sent to me, announcing me as a winner, had this fancy animation on the left.

Does that mean I am now the undisputed name in cricket blogging? No, not really.

So does this mean I am the best cricket quiz taker west of the Suez? No, not really.

Does this mean I owe KingCricket a drink at a bar for picking my name out of his hat. Probably!

So KingCricket held a competition on his blog and I, amongst many people, got the answer right and was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the 5 winners. Thanks to king and thanks to the publishers who held this competition. I received my price, a book entitled, "Penguins stopped Play", in the mail this past week. I haven't read it as yet, but it seems amusing. A review from me is in the works!

However, if you're interested, be sure to check out these other reviews which I came across. Tim de Lisle, who we all know, enjoyed the book and discussed it in the Guardian. While, the book enjoyed some more praise on Sarah Bookarama's blog.

Yea me too feel like it, though i am not watching any other match after India crash out of the WC but what I heard is not many good matches there.

Once again sorry for great cricket nations out in first round only.

Hope none of that drink gets spilt on its 4,000 mile journey over to us.

Congratulations.
