Friday 3^rd January

SHE SAID:

Geoff was up at “sparrows”, for him at least, again today & for the next possible 5 days as the final cricket match against India is on.

I did some van packing & cleaning in the flat today, & Geoff did some too when the cricket was on lunch break. 

The weather is more than 10C cooler than yesterday, so it was pleasant to do things again. Oh, how I have changed; from loving the heat & sun to preferring it to be under 30C… I am OLD!

HE SAID:

It was a 6:30am start for me due to the 5th Test v India commencing. I needed a coffee and to sort out the chooks before 7:30. India batted first with the scoring rate being very slow, with less than 200 runs for the day, including with Australia batting for a few overs at the end. The pitch seems spicy, with many blows to batsmen's bodies. There were 2 BBL matches after the test, but the first was a washout.
