We had a great day at the Sydney Cricket Ground watching the first day of the third Test against Sri Lanka. The cricket was entertaining and the crowd antics were also entertaining. The weather was pleasantly warm and we had a good seat in the Churchill Stand with a great view of the action, and we were in the shade.

Jan at the cricket, binoculars ready.
We were quite sensible and took proper picnic food instead of eating pies and chips, and we had only one beer each. There were lads nearby that must have got through at least a dozen beers each during the day! There was much shouting and flag-waving.
Sri Lanka batted quite well, but I think Australia will win this one.
