I chose to take a short bus ride to Mosman where I could watch a T20 match that started at 2:30pm
The match at the Allan Border oval was between the home team of Mosman and their opposition for the day was Randwick & Petersham.
I'm not sure who won the toss but Mosman came out to bat.
The Randwick team are fielding and yes that is the England cricketer Monty Panesar in the team.
Monty opened the bowling and took a wicket in his first over.
Into the fourth over and Mosman have already lost three wickets. Not a great start.
Some defensive strokes were required from the Mosman batsmen.
The score for Mosman at the end of of twenty overs. I see that the scoreboard operator kept up that fine Aussie tradition of having the scoreboard wrong most of the time as well as sitting right in front of it so nobody could see it. I had to be quick to get this shot.
Mosman now fielding and again a couple of wickets fell quickly. This was looking like a tight match.
Randwick & Petersham just managed the win in the 20th over. Here the teams shake hands at the end of the match. Monty never did get to bat but was probably due up next.
It was an enjoyable three hours in lovely sunny conditions.
