Playing a Sport With Balls and Bats, but No Pitcher - New York Times

the Department of Education inaugurated cricket as its newest league sport, with about 600 high school students playing on 14 teams during a 12-game season

Great to see cricket being introduced at school level and I hope it takes off.
It might be a while before we see USA playing Australia in a 5 day World Cup Test.

Took the Audi for a spin to Sydney for the weekend.

A walk around the harbour sure lifts ones spirits.

The action in Sydney this weekend included Skateboarding competitions on the steps of the Opera House, the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras [Photos], the first final of the One Day Cricket Championship and seaside lunches to die for.

It's no surprise that Sydney once again won the best city brand in the world.

Crowded and expensive but never fails to entertain and impress.

Update: Forgot to mention the Archibald 08 portrait exhibition.
