What better way to end the week than watching the kiwis trounce the ozzies at cricket. For the first time in 646 one day internationals them from across the tasman were beaten by 10 wickets.

I was up for a late night out watching a close game but the Black Caps firmly put the visitors in their box who looked increasingly like they’d rather be elsewhere. Capt Ricky Ponting was resting back at base and one can’t help but feel they were really missing their leader.

Cricket in the Caketin is certainly an interesting experience since you’re so close to the pitch. Same culture of spectator though – up and down every five minutes to get their chips and beer!

If you’re wondering – the southerlies blew in and made it a little chilly in the stands!
