Summer = Cricket!


Yesterday was day one of the Third Test between India and Australia played in Perth.  I was lucky enough to be able to go along with my husband where we enjoyed the opening ceremony and some great cricket.

Getting ready to raise the flags

The players march out
Welcome to Country by a famous West Aussie, Richard Walley.  Unfortunately he didn't play his didgeridoo at the cricket.  You can hear his music here 
Indian National Anthem and raising of the flag
Australian National Anthem and flag raising - I am glad the Aussies bowled straighter than the flag pole!

I never fail to be moved by the Aussie flag and national anthem....
Back with more later :)

I must confess that I know absolutely nothing about cricket. It is played only rarely here in Canada. But hey, GO AUSTRALIA!
