MCG - One Day Final

Took the friday off work and flew over to Melbourne to watch the Aussie Boys take on the Poms. Shamefully Australia got done in the final over, a game that we really should have won - but alas, the Poms came out victorious.

This was my first time at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.... I must say - it's an impressive venue!! Certainly going to have to come back and watch a footy game at some point with the boys!

We were directly opposite the large scoreboard


And what a wonderful day to sport your teams colours and enjoy a coldie - shame they were only serving mid-strength beer.. atleast it's not the SCG where it's only light beer!!


Here's a quick look around the ground


Monty to Hayden


Collingwood to Ponting

And here's a vid I tried to take of the Mexican Wave, not too clear though


At the change of innings we went exploring - this is taken at the very top of the MCG, what a view from up there!!


This guy ran out on to the field... there's an easy way to lose $6000!! And he did a crap job too, he didn't get anywhere near the centre of the pitch, and he had all his clothes on!


Here's a pic taken with my phone of Lara Bingle(now with Michael Clarke, A.K.A. "Pup") with a few of her girlie friends and the injured Andrew Symonds who made a classic appearance at the Allan Border medal earlier that week.


And here's a better quality shot, but with that weirdo blood-nut in the way of Roy's head!!
