At the cricket
Sunday, October 9th, 2005
This picture was taken at the final One Day match between Austalia and England at the Oval, this year. Dave (my work mate)and I had just walked in through security (it was 5 days after the London bombings) and this prat from Vodaphone was doing a promotion. As it ended up the bird got in on the action and Dave was singing a few AC/DC songs in his head…
Anyway, I was bloody lucky to get a ticket, as was dave my companion and man with the connnnexions… you see, now the Poms have a decent team, tickets became sort after and even though him and his chums had been going to the games since 1985, through thick and thin, they missed out on a test palce. Thankfully, a little bit of whinging went along way and they managed to get 6 tickets, one which went to me.
Even better for me was the Australian performance (McGrath 4 wickets and Gilchrist brilliant 100) and the look of utter annoyance as I am dancing around getting more elated (drunk) and taking the piss. Pity it didn’t carry on to the Ashes… oh well.
