Yesterday Drew and I got to go to our first Cricket game! Cricket is a very popular sport in Australia. We watched Australia vs. South Africa in a game that we thought would last a few hours, but it ended up taking 8 hours to complete! It reminded us of a high-scoring and faster paced baseball game. Some quick tid bits; the stadium holds 40,000 plus people and when purchasing tickets, the higher up tickets cost more because you can see more of the game and how it all plays out. Also we found it interesting that you are able to legally bet on the game in the stadium prior to the game starting. Growing up in the U.S., we idol football, basketball, baseball, etc. players as compared to here where kids grow up idolizing cricket players. It was an excellent experience getting to see such a popular sport over here in action! We had a blast! Hope all is well back home.
Cheers!
Drew and Mike
