I was introduced to the world of cricket....and let me just say it wasn't a mild game of people wandering around dressed in all white. This was a 20/20 game, which is a 'quick' 4hour version of the game, a usual match is 5 days! It is a crazily complex game, far too many rules to keep up with, although Rob and Belinda were sweetly in my ear attempting to explain what was going on! Eventually, I kept up with when I should be cheering, so that's a start! The crowd was drunk and rowdy (but what sport isn't!?), but seriously at a whole new level! I can't even repeat the cheers/jeers that were being shouted, and beer bottles were constantly flying through the air with abandon- craziness!! This was a partcularly heated game because it was England vs. NZ, at that's a strong rivalry! It was a perfect frst game! Go Blackcaps!!
Helen, Belinda and me
