when we arrived at the ground we were greeted by typical australian summer weather...... cold, wet and windy! we made our way into the ground and began our climb to the very top row of the mcg. after an exhausting search for our seats we were suprisingly pleased by the good view, and protection from the elements.
the atmosphere in the ground was great and the mcg itself was an amazing sight. there was a crowd of over 89,000 in the ground.
not sure if you can see the rain in this picture but at one point it was so heavy it felt like we were at home in manchester.
marra, his friend jad and geo sat in the block next to us, a few rows down.
due to a mixture of rain delays and under performing, england didn't fare too well. but it seemed like every person there, aussie and english were stood up cheering when warne got his 700th wicket.
we all had a great day at the test, it was an experience that will stay with us for a long time.
after the cricket we made our way to the crown casino... we've never seen phil so excited. we got a couple of good pictures of melbourne city, which is quite an impressive sight.
your not meant to take any pictures inside the casino but i got one, though it doesn't show much. the crown complex is massive, it has two hotels, loads of posh shops, restaurants and of course the casino. a few of us had never been in a casino before and it was like something out of a film, really dark but with lots of flashing lights, lots of gold everywhere and definitely some odd characters in there!
after a while of wandering round, getting lost and losing people we decided it was time to eat. we chose a place called 'georges pasta pizza and grill' which looked really nice. the food took ages but it was nice in the end.
by the time we left it was dark and the city lights looked amazing.
after the hour long train journey and a rather interesting cab ride, we finally got back to marra's about 12.15am... 16 hours after we had set off that morning.
it was a long day to say the least but we all had an amazing time and it was good to be able to spend it with our friends.

We have just been out in Geelong and met a women who shagged english cricketer Liam Plunket a few nights ago!
She gave us his number so we are going to give him some shit because he could have done much better!!
doesn't Plunkett play for Durham? I went to watch them against Lancashire once and got in for free.
