Australia vs New Zealand Cricket!!!!!































Of all the bloody days for it to rain!! We were going to watch the deciding test game for Australia vs New Zealand at the "Gabba" which is the main stadium here in Brisbane. However it rained all the night before and was still raining at 1.15 when it was supposed to start! However we waited and waited....the rain had to stop an hour before play so the ground wouldn't be as wet so at 5.30pm they posted a message saying that the game would go ahead at 6.15 and we were no where near ready because we thought it would be abandoned and a draw declared! All about the money basically! Had the BEST time ever and am now an avid cricket fan though not sure who I'm going to be supporting when its an England vs Australia match....Ozzies are much better looking though :P chants of "you're a wanker" when the officials confiscated blow up balls being thrown around in the crowd was so so funny...mainly coming from the alcohol side of the stadium! The picture of me and the two guys is me with the cricket team (i wish!!) Tried to get some pictures but you really have to squint to see the players!! After Australia finished batting and started bowling we got a Kiwi out on the second ball....soooo awesome!!! Then just after the Kiwi's reached a 100 it just chucked it down and unfortunately the match was abandoned and the Test declared a draw to the booing of the crowd (Australia would have lost anyways we worked out!) Wicked evening out and so worth every penny!

  1. Typical, you spend 19 years showing no interest in cricket then you get to go to the Gabba and support the bloddy Aussies! I'll have to take you to a real game when you get back...
