Well it has been a few days since my last post, and My God what a few days. There is one minor problem, the days have blurred into one and I can’t seem to remember what or when things happened.
It all started with the West Indies Vs South Africa match, which was well anticipated amount us cricket tragic’s since it was our first (and some only) change to see the West Indies play at home. We were all anticipating a huge day of drums and a general West Indies fun crowd. However we were all a bit worried at the same time after the Richie Richardson briefing where he indicated that politics has badly affected the WI’s ability to put on a party at the game for us. With the $100US per ticket cost and practically a full cavity search at the gate had caused a lot of locals to be pushed away. And unfortunately he was not too far from the mark, the WI home support crowd was very small, however us Aussies made up for it in full voice.
The Grenada home ground was lovely, there is a picture of it here, many of the locals sat up on the hill bank and watched from some distance, which was pretty cool. On the way to the ground we passed the “house of lords”, also very funny see picture.
It was then off to Barbados to see the Bango’s thrash the Pommes. Well the pommes won but not convincingly by any means. A few of the boys took the opportunity after lunch to wander around Barbados. After having Sledges shoe blow out fixed by Freddy and smiley (see picture) they found the boat shed which was beer, beach and music. Needless to say they were in full voice on return to the ship. Talking about full voice though before they left the ground they snuck into the press box (see picture) and sledge was mucking around with the microphones giving a post match brief, the funniest thing is that when they left they were informed by a large local security guard that the microphone was turned on and the had piped out to the entire stand. Maybe that was another reason that they left early.
Well the next day cruising all day was much fun at the pool bar (now renamed to the Aussie bar). There was a pole competition that you hit each other with pillows till one falls off. Funnies thing was droopy fell in before he even got git. But it was a Aussie vs South Africa final and thanks to gilly we were victorious and celebrated well. Reidy went so well that the sun turned him into a racoon. Our waiter at the Aussie bar is Gede but he says it as gidday and he looks like tattoo off danger island (you know banana splits). Anyway he is a legend and there is a photo of him in the GALLERY.
Well the next post will be for the big match of Australia vs Ireland, which is also much anticipated but mainly for the party with the Irish.
Will catch you all again soon from the Caribbean Party - Shaz
