No live cricket...

yep, drove all the way to Sydney on Saturday to get to the SCG by 9.15am for the WNCL Final between the NSW Breakers and the SA Scorpions...the closest we got to the match happening was that we got within a minute of the toss taking place at 10:45am (45 minute delay) when down came the rain again...

so I floated backwards and forwards between the Scoreboard Control box on the 7th level of the Brewongle Stand and the Members...meanwhile the Twenty20 round of matches my club was due to play on the Sunday at David Phillips (UNSW) were called off at 2pm...

then after the rain had clearly set in, the match was finally abandoned at 3pm...the NSW Breakers were awarded the trophy after finishing on top of the ladder (only 1 loss all season), their 10th title in 12 years...both sides were disappointed at not having the opportunity to play...it was SA's first final since 1997/8...

it was also the first time in the history of the WNCL (started 1996/7) that a one off match was being utilised (usually a three match final series)...in addition, no reserve day had been scheduled...

anyway, I decided to stay on overnight as per the original plan and went to the Hornsby RSL with my hosts (fellow club cricketers) to watch the end of the Test in Perth...

ended up getting back to Canberra just after 12pm on Sunday...watched the Caps down the Bendigo Spirit at Tuggeranong and then did nothing much else for the rest of the day!

rode to work this morning (I did check to see if it was still raining first!)...it was a fairly slow ride thanks to the wind...16.44k, 44:51...

no running at lunchtime with tonight's speedygeese session...

oh, I did take some photos of the Scoreboard Control box which I will post later tonight...
