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.
I love this photo Imran! You can really see the excitement on your face. It sounds you are having a fantastic experience and doing some really fun things. Thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteHi 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?
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Jensen. Thanks for your comments.
