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.
