Cricket and morning runs

At the ODI between Australia and New Zealand at Manuka Oval, Australia won by 116 runs. It was never really close. The winners on the day were David Warner and the sunset; both of which were brilliant.

A morning run takes me past this letterbox where one can deliver post to Landsend. 

Welcome to the WACA

Our first ever visit to the W.A.C.A. could be the last time the Western Australian Cricket Association ground hosts an Ashes Test Match. Sadly for us, England's performance was dire, but it was good to see the ground.

 

There was plenty of English support.

 

But the team simply wasn't feeling the love. Yes, that is a golden duck - the first of Alastair Cook's career.

 

 

 

The Aussie fielding was pretty tight as the bowlers steamed in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spider-cam was watching as we obeyed the safety advice.

 

 

Dodgy head gear was de rigueur.

 

KP looked uncomfortable out there and soon got himself out.

Spectating optimism dwindled throughout the day.

Kambah Pool

This is Kambah Pool - a natural swimming hole on the Murrumbidgee River. I think it looks typically Australian. There is a nudist beach just a wee bit further along. I didn't go there.
