I am a fan of cricket. I love the game. I am just not very good at it. But that doesn't let me not enjoy watching the cricket on the tellie or live. Like when NSW versed SA in a one-dayer last Sunday at Bankstown Oval. I got a ticket for the game and so I went.
The game began with the NSW-men putting the SA in to bat. Mr McGrath only got one wicket, but that was alright. He went off after the 10 overs, being super-subbed (don't ask me by whom, though...I can't remember). Mr McGill, Mr Lee, Mr Bracken and Mr S Clarke did very well in getting the wickets. However, I was disappointed when Mr Blewitt (of SA) got out when he wasn't. A pity, but good for the NSW-men, as he was scoring very well. In the end, NSW had SA out for 245.
The NSW innings began brilliantly after the batsmen got their eye in. I thought at one stage that NSW would get the score within the 40 overs to gain the bonus point, but, unfortunately, with wickets falling a little quickly in the middle of the 50 overs, NSW had to bat a little more conservatively, and only made the score with a ball to spare. Mr Bracken, in the third last over, helped the score balance with the number of balls to be faced by hitting a wonderful six. However, with a wicket falling in the second last over, it stopped the runs coming so freely. 'Dizzy' Gillespie did well in his bowling, getting a wicket as well as taking two catches for SA. However, that couldn't stop out team winning.
Well done to NSW. I hope that this weekend they can do as well against the Tassie Tigers at the SCG. And I hope that this weekend when I go to watch that I don't get suburnt like I did at BO. That was the only disagreeable thing about the day.

Finally another post...
Yes, I have finally got my act together to post another comment.
I went to two 21st birthday parties. I enjoyed myself immensely at both. One was really good because I got to catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in quite some time. The other was cold, except around the HUGE bonfire. That was good.
Mum and I went on the trip around North Eastern NSW and South Eastern Qld. We went to the 21st that was really cold while on this trip. It was fairly cool in Qld while we were there (expecting it to be a little warmer...but there you go...). However, Mum and I had fun on our trip. We were thinking of going out to Dubbo and Parkes to visit 'The Dish', but decided to give up on that idea, due to having had enough away from home after ten days of living out of a suitcase.
Apart from that, life hasn't been really exciting around here. Dad, Mum and I went to a 50th last weekend to celebrate the birthday of my Uncle's wife. That was good - got to catch up with cousins, and wish on in particular a good wedding for this weekend coming.
Anyway...enough for now. Will post pictures of the trip up here some time, after I have learned how to do it. :) Still not good at it.
