This bright and sunny summer of cricket



It's the first day of the Sydney test, australia v Pakistan... At least it is supposed to be.

Eddy and I are currently sitting under a light sprinkle in the ladies stand of the SCG waiting for the umpires to deem that the surface is dry enough for play to begin... A daclaration that at this point in time seems unlikely. Nevertheless we persist... Haven't missed a test in 5 long years :D









You see the harpers bazar umbrella in the left corner??? That's Eddy... Doesn't she look just so happy to be here :-P

Only the die hards come on days like today... And those who bought tickets before the weather forecast came out...

I should hurry this up because I'm running on a strict 15 minute time limit... Eddy demands entertainment and when Mitchel Johnson is off the field this responsibility comes downtown me... She's really very demanding when she can't eat carbs (not by choice... Dw were not going on some Hollywood crash diet, it's just thatshe has a stomach bacteria or something and this type f food inflames the stomach lining...)... It kinda ruins the binge eating day we had planned too...

Instead we have Lollies...








And a view of a large green patch of grass...











Please don't get me wrong... I am very happy to be here, just thought I should tell it how it is - no sugar coating at all...

Play update: coin toss has been delayed...

Anywho, I'd better go.
Until next time
D.

Edit/bloggers note: yes we realise sugar is a carb... But in this case they don't count... Brain has to function somehow right??? We r thinking more breads and pasta and rice... U know heavy stuff :-P

  2. so did someone forget to tell you in all that chemistry you studied in your business degree that sugar is a carb? So Lollies are carbs!! Sorry to burst Eddy's bubble. BTW nice and close to the field today. Hope you get to see Mitchell Johnson up close and personal ( but not so close as to see the panther tattoo )
