Sunday was when I paid my second visit to the Sydney Cricket Ground... this time under the lights. The Australia-South Africa clash was quite one-sided and disappointing... but it was good fun watching Gilchrist blazing away, and then the rest of the Aussie batting too.
At the grounds, you get a real taste of the aussie way of life and also their capacity for guzzling beer. A small group sitting in front of us managed to down around a dozen glasses each... we also managed to down 5 each. Though they serve just Cascade Light, somehow, I felt that the ones at the stadium were even lighter than ususal... maybe they did customize the serving to keep the crowd within reasonable limits of madness
The ground under lights is a treat to watch. The players appear much closer and accessible... some of the pictures give a real close-up into the match (like the one above)... Am eagerly waiting for a chance to pay a third visit :)
