Cricket at Ford Field...

We celebrated a friend's birthday at a nearby park earlier this month. I was amazed to see a large group of people playing a quite competitive game of cricket on the field below us. I had a chat to them and told them that I was from South Africa. It turns out that they're all from Afghanistan and Pakistan and play cricket each week as the weather allows. 

Upon hearing I was from South Africa, they told me that they always support SA in the World Cup and other cricket tournaments, because "the South African cricket team usually doesn't do very well in big competitions." It gave me a chuckle. I'm glad that people support SA, even if it is occasionally out of pity!

An intense game of cricket underway!
