AUSTRALIA DAY.

Anyway, I went to Hanging Rock during the day.
We got there early, set up our chairs and food and stuff, some people went to put bets on, and waited for the first race.
And waited some more.
Then, when the race was about to start, some kangaroos decide to hop around the racecourse.
So, the horses couldn't race and the security staff people thingy couldn't get the kangaroos off (have you ever heard of shooting a kangaroo on Australia Day? No, me either. A little bit un-Australian, y'know.)

Don't worry, no one shot the kangaroos. They were just left to have their fun on the racecourse, and then, the person on the loudspeaker said that all races were cancelled, and the kangaroos scattered and went elsewhere. WHAT EVEN.

Anyway, it was still only 1pm, so a lot of people continued to stay, betting on the Caulfield races and such.
Some people had brought a beach ball, so they were throwing that around. And it got caught in the tree twice, so people would throw their shoe or an umbrella up there. Good entertainment. :P
And then, some party pooper/policeman got hold of the ball and took it away. Rude.

Oh and in the middle of the racecourse, there was a massive lake with signs all around it saying "Beware: Snakes" and other such warning signs.
And some people (probably after a few drinks) decided to jump in the lake and swim over to the island in the middle. That was entertaining, but then the security/police-y people went over and ordered the people out of the lake.

Overall, it was a good day. I didn't place any bets, but I did walk around the whole racecourse. The horses weren't using it. :P
I didn't get lost at Hanging Rock, hahaha. If I did, I think people would be too absorbed in making a movie about it, then actually searching for me. :/.

Now, onto the cricket.
Besides the fact that they lost and didn't manage to hit many sixes, Australia still did pretty good. They made 276 or something, which is a pretty good score for a One Day match, but unfortunately England had made 299. :(.

If only (t)Watto, DHuss or Cameron White had stayed in longer.

Whatever. Apparently the bowling wasn't too good, with DHuss getting 4 wickets, and Steve Smith getting 3. Brett Lee only got 1, and I don't even think Bollinger got any.
I hope this means Siddle and Hilfenhaus will be back. :).

La la la.
I want Mitchell Johnson to come back in the team, but they don't really need a wicket-taker, just an economical bowler who won't concede many runs. (i.e. Hilfenhaus.)

And yeah.
