So I spent RM202 on the tickets, SGD47 on the bus ride there, RM107.5 for one night's accomodation, and RM35 for the return tickets to learn why cricket sucks in 2006 in Malaysia. I've vowed to never go to another cricket game in the Asian tropics, you're too worried about keeping cool in the 35 degree heat to cheer for your team!
The ground was substandard, the food was poor, 400% markup on water, it was so hot that I didn't even want to drink alcohol. To top it all off, Katich faced 30 deliveries to get past single figures and Morton bested that effort in the Windies innings by scoring the world's slowest duck (0 from facing 31 deliveries)!
The only good thing about the whole trip was drinking and hookah (no, thats not hooker, or lady boys) with Neal the night before, and then catching up with Rob the irishman.
For those that don't know I'm returing to NZ during mid-December -> early January. Boxing day 20/20 at the cake tin should be a winner! I miss cricket in NZ, the atmosphere, my blonde hair, telling Brett Lee that he's a wanker, Jared's incompetency with gin and water, my fellow SWIS members, hotties. :'(
And finally, Jared this is all the sentimentality that you'll get out of me on the interweb. I can't have everyone know about my true feelings for you. You should be happy though, its still more sentimentality than anyone else has received, despite your formative years in that east coast backwater :P
