Hanging at the cricket with Brian

On Sunday, Chin invited Phui & I to the cricket. England was playing the West Indies at Lords ('THE' HOME OF CRICKET). It was day 4 of the test. England was batting in the 2nd innings - and had a comfortable lead. I think they were playing for the draw. In the whole days play, we only saw 3 wickets fall. By the late afternoon, the crowd was getting a little bored and started doing the mexican wave. The mexican wave is exactly the same as the one at the MCG....everyone boo's when the wave gets around to the stuffy posh 'members'.

The ground at Lord's looked quite small. The boundaries seemed quite close, compared with the 'G'.

Whilst wandering the grounds, I saw the legendary Brian Lara in the flesh. He was in town for the new Brian Lara exhibition at the Lord's museum and also to watch his fellow countrymen play in the test.
