Imran's #Oresome Adventures Around the World - T20@MCG


Photo: With my dad at the MCG

[26 Jan 2016] Today was a very big day for me & my family. We would be going to the Melbourne Cricket Ground, also known as MCG, for the second India VS Australia T20 cricket match. The MCG is the largest cricket stadium in the whole world! T20 stands for Twenty-twenty which means each team gets twenty overs to play. It is the shortest version of a cricket and usually lasts about 3 to 4 hours.
At first, it looked like it was going to rain but then it didn't turn out how we had anticipated. The weather was back to normal. It was a very fun match. India batted first and scored 184/3 in response Australia made 157/8 in their 20 overs and lost by 27 runs. Both of the teams were very good and had played really well but at the end India won!
In the last over an Indian bowler called Bumrah took one wicket and finished the game with another one on the last ball.  It was a really fun experience but the bad thing was that there were two ladies who were shouting loudly right behind me the whole time! It was really annoying :0 Over all the match was very exciting and also #OREsome.

  2. Hi Imran I've been to the MCG before as well for a game of Aussie Rules but the crowd was not at capacity. Was it full for the game you went to? It looks like you were quite near the action. What surprised about the game or the stadium? Was anything really unexpected to what you thought it was going to be like?

  3. Hi Mr McNeil. Yes, the stadium was totally packed specially with Indian fans. We were about ten rows away from the field. I didn't expect the fireworks at the end after the match - that was cool.
