Cricket And More Cricket!

Where did the AFL footy season go? It is now full on cricket! Yesterday it was Australia Vs India, live on TV from India. Today it was Victoria Vs South Australia live in the flesh at Caloundra!

Victoria cruised to an easy win, I was back home at about 2 pm when the game was due to finish at 5:30 pm. South Australia recovered from 5/25 to make 102. Victoria made those runs in about 20 overs for the loss of one wicket. Victorian opening batsman Aiden Blizzard made a fifty n.o. which included 2 enormous 6's, crossing the road to land in a neighbour's front yard!

During the break of innings, former Victorian wicket keeper (and captain) Darren Berry gave this young local lad a few pointers. It was great to see. The boy lapped up all the information! Later the boy helped in the South Australian warm up, returning the ball to the bowlers as they loosened up.

He had a great day!

High 20's today as the pool slowly warms up. Hopefully the pool will get to about 24 this afternoon. However it will lose a lot of heat overnight.

Another pleasant 10 k bike ride, followed by a brisk swim and breakfast got the day off to a good start. Trish drove to Brisbane to have lunch with a friend from Drouin in Victoria who is in Brisbane visiting her sister for the week. Before I got to the cricket I was pricing a new computer in Caloundra.
