I love it when I set my alarm clock to go off an hour before class, and then I somehow sleep through it's loud report only to wake up 10 minutes before class.
Today I went to the cricket. This requires a number of rants:
It was an absolute scorcher today. Cheap tickets = seats in the afternoon sun. It must've been at least 35 degrees, and I got to sit in the sun for a few hours.
The sun was luckily interrupted by clouds. Many dark clouds. This brought rain. Which, whilst being refreshing at first, caused the curtailment of the game. It was a wash-out.
The rain set in for the third time at about 7:20pm after 5 balls of the West Indies innings. We waited it out for 2 hours, hoping to get at least a reduced game. We were rewarded by a reduced game with a reasonably high target, that should've been quite good to watch. But as soon as the players took the field, after a 2 hour wait, it started pouring again. One ball later, and it was called off. 2 hours for 1 ball. That was met with Gayle's forward defence.
The full Australian innings (despite a short rain delay halfway through it was still a full innings), was dull and low-scoring, with the first six coming off the second last ball.
