Was at the game again yesterday. Didn't think we had much chance beforehand but was hopeful after we made 309 which shouldn't be that easy to get. Masterclass from Sri Lanka though and it was never in doubt from the first over, just had to sit there and endure it hoping they might collapse. Batting first and making 300 at least made half the match enjoyable and we at least got to cheer a few times instead of being miserable from the start like last week. Think it was the first time I've seen an England player make a hundred live too so that was cool.
Think that probably means we're out now with Bangladesh getting that unexpected point against Australia. Couple of funny moments from the croud. Early on the guys sitting next to us were talking about work and the middle-aged woman in front of us turned around and shouted at them "I flew thousands of miles to watch the cricket not listen to your business meeting." Didn't catch their reply but they moved seats shortly after and never returned. Later on a guy in the row behind us with an northern English accent and wearing Perth Glory shirt returned to his seat and said to his mate: "Bloody hell it wouldn't stop. Every time I lifted my arse off the seat more came out. Fudgeing arse is on fire"
