On Sunday evening, we introduced the tourists, Sarah and Duncan, to the wonderful game of cricket. Unfortunately, it wasn't really a fantastic introduction for Sarah and Duncan. The game between Australia and Pakistan wasn't really a competition (Australia won by 9 wickets without raising a sweat). It was also rain delayed; we left at 8.30pm when it started raining. The result was clearly going to be in Australia's favour. (photos)

To fully appreciate and understand cricket, you really have to go to a game. Only at a game can you experience cheering the Aussies on while sitting in a sea of yellow and green sombreros, munching on a $8 hotdog and drinking a $5 light beer. (Well, cheering them on except when Matthew Hayden was batting. At 25 runs off 65 balls, we actually cheered when he got out!)

I think cricketers need a bit of the "queer eye for the straight guy" treatment. Shoaib Akhtar is in dire need of a haircut, Dizzy Gillespie has a mullet and Andrew Symonds looks like a clown. Andrew Symonds can rest easy knowing he can get a job doing children's parties if he ever gets kicked off the Australian team.
