Cricket World Cup Fever hits New Zealand!
We went to our first cricket match since coming to New Zealand on Saturday March 21st and it was a cracker! The Black Caps defeated the West Indies in Wellington. The match started very slowly with their captain and best batsman Brendon McCullum going out early. Then Matin Guptill set a World Cup record scoring 237 and energizing the 35,000 Kiwi's. Everyone was on their feet clapping and chanting Guptill, Guptill! The crowd went wild when he hit a 6 out of the stadium and onto the roof.
Bonny and I never thought cricket could be so exciting.
Now it's off to Eden Park in Auckland were every television in New Zealand will be tuned in to watch the Black Caps defeat South Africa on Tuesday March 23rd in the Cricket World Cup semi- finals. Kia Ora from the land of the long white cloud!
