David I think it is quite different to baseball, in baseball don't you run from base to base, i suppose they are similar in the fact that both use a bat and ball, make runs, so yes in that way they are, secretly i really don't even understand all the scoring in cricket, but I do know Scott did extremely well, I am just really happy as he needed that to keep him at it.

It is going to be a hottie here today for the big cricket match, but some rain in the afternoon when it starts, but it is humid, we have unfortunatley lost two of our best bowlers due to injuries, still hoping for a win.

I also read in the intervals 'The finn brothers" aka 'Crowded House" will be singing, gosh worth going for that alone, at 25 dollars a ticket it is a giveaway., most of my Aussie friends will know who they are, although they are world famous now, so maybe some of my Americans will know them too.
