Boooooorrrrriiiiinnnnnngggg

Hi there everyone,

Did you see us in the crowd? We were in the front row at the bottom right in line with the wicket opposite the main score board. Saturday we will be in the front in the first section on the right (as you look at it) of the scoreboard/grass, near the bottom.

What a boring game today also, I'm glad Katy saw a real game the other day. New Zealand started out badly and it just got worse. They lost too many wickets too soon and then never started to hit out to try and get at least 250. Then when they started bowling, it was all over the place and they gave away 17 runs in the first few overs, 14 of which were extras!! Sri Lanka could then just coast along getting singles every now and again and so the whole afternoon was pretty boring. But a boring cricket game in Grenada is better than no boring cricket game not in Grenada.

People here are very friendly and we are making lots of "friends". The food is good but very expensive. Yesterday we walked around the town of St George and saw what few sights they have. It is like a small European town with narrow cobbled streets all set at San Francisco street angles. I think they go through lots of clutches here. The town is pretty though and quite fun to wander around.

So far we have purchased the second and third place prizes for the competition. Second place is a cricket ball with the World Cup logo on it and third place is a cap in the West Indies colors with the World Cup logo. We are trying to get a nice shirt for the first place prize.

We also have a small (6 inch) bat that we can use as part of the floating trophy to be awarded every 4 years. (It will be called the Sweaty Robinson World Cup Trophy of Honour and Stuff.) If we see any players we will try and get stuff autographed.

Love,
Michael and Katy
