I do! Especially if it's a 20-20 game at the Gabba on a balmy summer's night!Last night, Australia played South Africa and so, being the cricket-lovin' family that we are...off we trotted! And yes, the Superteen seriously did wear this hat!
Some of the Nine commentary team prepared before the game began. Yep, that's Shane Warne and Michael Slater to the right!
It was a big crowd of around 37 and a half thousand people. Unfortunately, the Gabba grass has been hit with some disease, hence the yucky patches on the field!
South Africa batted in the first innings and set a total of 157 runs!
Can any of you non-cricket playing people understand this scoreboard? Lol! (Here is a quick lesson: That is the South African batting innings. The important numbers are the two big ones in the bottom right hand corner. It means that South Africa at that stage were 3 for 46. That means that 3 players went in to bat and were out and so far the team had made 46 runs....runs, being how many times they'd run between those stump thingies! Understand??)
Here is a picture for all of you Tasmanians! Although, personally, I prefer the very hot Mr Ben Hilfenhaus to look like this!
At half time, the crowd saluted Matt Hayden who announced his retirement from competitive cricket that day!
He made an honour lap of the oval for us to cheer him....it was a standing ovation by all!
In the second innings, the game was close. It was hard to tell if we would win or not. Until Michael Hussey, Ricky Ponting and co started batting strongly!
Yaayyyyyy, we did win! The final ball was a massive 6 (that means that the batsman hit the ball, on the full, over the fence and into the crowd)! 
Michael Hussey was named Man-of-the-Match!
*sigh* And that's it for international 20-20 cricket in Australia for anther year! Never mind, though! The One Day Internationals are about to begin!
