More Cricket

Trish received excellent news from the specialist yesterday. All that is now required is time for things to settle down. Preliminary tests are excellent.

I headed back to the cricket yesterday in overcast conditions to watch more of the Interstate Challenge, this time between NSW and Tasmania.

The conditions were tough for batsmen but Tasmania's captain George Baily made a commanding 71 for his side. They totalled about 218 and were able to dismiss NSW for about 140.

They used the new one day format of 45 overs each with both sides batting for 20 overs one after the other. Later both sides came back to play their final 25 overs. This format seems to keep interest up throughout the match and also that batting conditions are similar for both sides.

Those dark overcast skies as seen in the above photo are back again today but didn't stop me getting a 13k bike ride in this morning. Trish is back to Quilters this morning and is able to drive the car OK.

Today's match is Tasmania Vs a second rate South Australia. I am not bothered about heading back to watch this one.
