First match of the 2024/25 Cricket season played today.

[Bretrick]

I travelled all the way to Breckler Park, Dianella, a total distance of 1.8km - 1.1 miles.
There were two 20 over T20 matches played consecutively.
Mt Lawley verses Subiaco-Floreat
There was one sinuous cloud above, for about 15 minutes so there was much relief rain would not spoil the day.

The bowlers had the upper hand early on in the match.







The crowd was patiently waiting for the inevitable increase in the run rate.




Finally the batsmen started to cut loose.








Mt Lawley won both games.
A great day of exciting cricket from 9am until 4.15pm at no monetary cost.

There are 4 cricket grounds within 5 miles of where I live.

I never have been able to figure out how that game is played. The bits of the game I have seen in movies it looks like it could be interesting but I have heard people say it can be boring and the game or match can be quite long. I dunno, maybe someday I will search the internet to see how it is played.
