I always loved the fact that during the boring bits of the game they'd show some of the scenery around the grounds, lime Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne or in Adelaide they'd show one of those rickety "popeye" boats that float down the "river" Torrens...

Or the randomly selected bikini clad woman using the game as an excuse to sunbathe - not sure how often the do that one now though in these politically correct times...

^ Oh they still do it.

I love Cricket. I am a member of the Gabba in Brisbane and try to make all the tests and one dayers. I am watching Aus V SA as I type. I watch all the tests if they are on Cable no matter who is playing. Last week I watched the NZ v Windies.

In English cricket I follow Sussex as I lived in that part of the world for a few years. In Australian Cricket Qld. I have a huge soft spot for NZ who I think put in as much as they can considering the lack of population and money. NZ population just over 4 million. India 1.1 billion.

Is South Australia losing or winning - I am, at heart, if not in location, an Adelaide boy, and you can take me out of the place, but you can't take the place out of me, ya know? Go the redbacks!

Damn, now I am homesick, picturing either the Gabba or Adelaide Oval... I miss Australia... :-(

The Redbacks lost to the Vics last night in a 20/20 bash. Good game.

Bummer that SA lost though, ahh well, them's the breaks, eh??

SA vs aus in the first ODI tomorrow if I remember correctly.

Proteas got knocked around in both pro20's

I made it to the 20/20 game. Made it to the pub after as well but I don't remember leaving

Those are always the best trips to the pub, in my opinion...
