Kevin Pieterson batting
At lunch time, everyone was allowed on the pitch (?) to look at the wickets!!!!! It was nice to see lots of kids/families playing cricket and ball games on the field.
Barmy Army
Entrance to McLean Park...we bought cans from the shop and they wouldn't let us take them in, I asked why and they said 'In case you get rowdy...you could use them as a weapon!'Went to support England today in their battle against New Zealand. England didn't do too well initially, however Pieterson seemed to redeem the team somewhat...the game is still going ahead. We stayed most of the day, but the sun was just too hot. We we're putting sun cream on like it was going out of fashion...and trying to keep covered up, but it was uncomfortable so we left about 4.30pm. It was great to be surrounded by so many English people, in a wierd way it felt like we we're closer to home! So, we laid out Grahams huge England flag and got set up for the day. The Kiwi's surprised me today...very rude and really trying to wind up the english, eg '***k off and go home!'.....but the English just ignored them and let them get on with it. There was one group of particular prats that we're sat right behind us...and actually started tapping an english lad on the head shouting at the top of his voice 'let's have some banter...why don't you just ***s off home' and he just said, 'no thanks mate'....so 1 to the English and a disappointing 0 to the kiwi's.
Apart from the minority kiwi prats..the day was great....While we we're sat there a guy behind us got a text from home and someone put, 'you've been on telly.'..this text described what we we're all wearing, so if any of you stayed up late to watch the cricket ( which I very much doubt) you may have seen us!!!!
GOOD LUCK ENGLAND
