A great day AND night of cricket!
The Boxing Day Test began today at the MCG.
The debutant, 19yr old Konstas, played an exciting and successful innings of 60 runs off 65 balls and Australia have established a good first innings total of 6/311 at close of play in front of more than 87,000 spectators!
As soon as the final ball was played for the day, the first of the double header BBL matches played between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars began. Sydney Sixers won easily and spectacularly.
Immediately following that, the second match began between Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat. I think it will be close, but the Scorchers are playing at home with a massive supportive crowd so they might have the edge.
All up, it will be around 12 hours of cricket on the telly today.
I had a one hour nap this afternoon and 30 minutes with Harley outside, so I watched more than ten hours of cricket. I’m exhausted!
Delicious Christmas leftovers for dinner. I added a fresh coleslaw and freshly baked chicken plus slices of watermelon.
No trivia tonight. Cricket was my priority.
Now, I shall fall asleep to the sound of bat on ball.
Nite all.
