the night i broke my 2020 cherry

...
I went to my first ever 2020 game last night.

For my drunken review of the game go here.

2020 does have some things going for it. Its so damn quick, it forces you to look at it.

At the boxing day test last week, with Australia and India bowling one over an hour, sometimes I found myself looking at other things and missing a ball.

In 2020, if you stare at the action you miss something.

Last nights game was pretty dismal, the G pitch continued to he harder to bat on than a bed of nails.

But the game still had something.

As a spectator you have to be right on your game, and if you wan’t beer, you need to be an athlete just to get the beer without missing half of the game.

Even pissed, I noticed the speed in which the kids ran in, pissed, and ran out. Everything was about speed.

Ok so its just not cricket.

It’s a bit wanky at times.

And to fully enjoy, it you need to be pissed.

But I was pissed, and I did enjoy it.

It was a good birthday event.

Even the dancing bogans, giant kangaroos and retro gay anthems didn’t annoy me that much.

Perhaps cause victoria won.

And cause Cricket With Balls Own Nice Bryce got a wicket first ball, just for me.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
