Navigated the transport system to get to the ground - thank heavens for Google Maps which makes the whole process so easy. Even for an early Sunday morning the buses and the train were still realatively full.
Things weren’t looking too good early as the rain set in and we couldn’t get tickets at the gate.
Desperados!
But, after hanging around the streets for and hour or so, we were able to get two tickets at a reasonable price.
The morning session didn’t go well for the Aussies. The game came to life later in the afternoon when a few Aussie wickets went down and the game was on!
The artist just down in front of us continued on regardless of the happenings in the middle.
Well worth the effort. The Aussies hung on by the skin of their teeth. A few Brits thought they could smell a victory - but alas, not to be! The game was declared a draw with three balls to go!
And shortly after, the rain came down!
A bit of chaos getting home. Many of the trains we needed were closed for maintenance!
Later joined Helene, Maddie, Kevan and his dad at the pub.
Gee, all I can say is that you are brave to find your way to a day (or half) at the cricket. Heard about the rain, and also that Steve Smith copped a ball in the neck and the arm. Bet you enjoyed the atmosphere tho, Bern. Loved the pics of you all at the Show, what a lovely night out. Seems like your holiday is sadly coming to an end. Amazing dust storm in these parts yesterday, but still no rain. Enjoy your time left xxxx
