cricket: insect or game?

on saturday we toured the sydney cricket grounds. it has a ton of history in it and was a great place to visit for the day. it's interesting to see the club houses here in sydney. i know that back at home celebrities/professionl athletes kind of have their own place to go to that the general public can't get to. here, on the other hand, the public has rights to any place that professional players go. for a yearly fee, the public can use the same utilies that they professional athletes use. it's ridiculous! another crazy thing though is that to get some of the best seatings in the stadium, there's like a 12 year wait before you can buy a spot and even then the seats are ridiculously expensive! there was also a walk of fame that held the names of the best of the best in cricket, footie, rugby union and rugby league. apparently you can only get nominated when you've been retired for ten years or you were dead, so none of the players were particularly in a rush to get there. we weren't able to play any cricket though ): oh well, this girl can wait to bowl again <3
