A National Disgrace

Yesterday we went to the cricket.

We got there on time, but due to rain the game was delayed. And delayed. And delayed. This was hardly an issue though, since the company was fine and the food (and beer) kept coming. We watched as they repeatedly tinkered with the field trying to decide when to start the game.

The cricket finally began after lunch. Australia won the toss and elected to bat.

I’ll spare you the details, but the bottom line is Australia’s performance was the worst on home soil in 13 years (according to the paper). It was intriguing to watch, because as bad as they did, we were keenly aware we were watching history in the making! They ended up all out for 127.

Adam and Bernards friend Pat was with us, and after the cricket we went (back) to that great chinese restaurant at Fox Studios and stuffed ourselves. A lengthy four-player MTG game followed!

These next 2 photos weren’t from yesterday, but they are typical of most evenings at Adams place.

Oh and here’s a shot of a meal we ate twice so far this trip!
