A new favourite sport

I'm getting more and more into cricket. Before I came to Melbourne I was barely aware of this sport's existence. Then I honestly thought that there could be nothing more boring than watching a game that runs over 5 days. But thanks to my previous housemate Eric, who introduced me to the game, and thanks to Lisa, who took me to the cricket at the MCG during the Christmas break, I'm getting more and more into it. Lisa patiently taught me all the basics: I know what a wicket is, or a duck, or the silly point.

It's a great game to watch, it's always exciting with each new ball, and it is interesting how the game unfolds over the 5 days. I love watching it.

Oh, es ist passiert, es ist geschehen der lange Mann ist endgültig in Australien angekommen ;)

Erzähl das bloß keinem in Österreich das du bekehrt wurdest *ggg*

Und ich dachte immer man muss wirklich ein "Native" sein um sich für die Sport begeistern zu können... ;)
