Cricket and Then More Cricket

The footy season was over on Saturday so now it is straight into Cricket. My mate John arrived lunchtime on Monday and from the airport it was straight to the cricket!

South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania Cricket teams are visiting the Sunshine Coast to play a series of matches as a warm up to the 2009/10 season. There are some test class players among the groups here. Graham Manou is the captain of South Australia and he wicket kept for Australia in the 4th Test in England this year. Also Jason Krezja is playing, the off spinner controversially omitted from the recent tour to England in favour of Hauritz. The photo shows young McDermott bowling. He is the son of former Australian opening fast bowler Craig McDermott.

The cricket has been great, the weather perfect and the games spectacular to watch with some lusty hitting going on. Sunny days of about 26 has made the conditions for watching the games just perfect.

Today the action shifts to Caloundra where two 20/20 matches will be played, the second will be under lights. Trish is driving us so we are free to relax and enjoy ourselves.
