Cricket season

Channel Nine has arranged to show the whole Boxing Day test live into Melbourne. It's absolutely fantastic for the armchair viewer like myself, even if it does have ramifications for crowd attendance numbers. I hear the deal is for seven years.

I was considering getting a group together to go tomorrow, but with a forecast of 36 degrees combined with my poor sunburn record during the Boxing Day Test, I'm going to give it a miss and just chill. Rather than burn. Still, it's so different to watch it at the cricket, I recommend it to anyone when the cricket actually comes to town. Plus you should feel better about drinking at 10:30 in the morning if you should take a glance at Bay 13. They're usually sauced by the time I arrive.

Cricket surely is one of the greatest joys of Summer, or as it should be called: "Hot chick bikini weather". Cheers!
