Sri Lanka, like much of the rest of the Commonwealth, has been gripped by Cricket World Cup fever. Sri Lanka had a huge victory last night over the UK and are now in the semi-finals, along with India, Pakistan and New Zealand.
I attended my first cricket match last week–Australia vs. Pakistan–and I am pleased to say that I now understand the rules of cricket thanks to my Aussie friends. (Sad for my friends that Pakistan won–it was a big upset!) Cricket is much easier to understand that I though it would be and already knowing the rules of baseball helps a lot. Perhaps I, too, have been gripped by cricket fever?
