The Big Bash
Well the Big Bash Domestic Australian Cricket series is due to start soon.
This is 20/20 cricket played at a frantic pace.
Last year it was none stop cricket each night for several weeks.
Very enjoyable to watch and some amazing talent amongst some of the younger players complimented by some former ageing stars.
Here are a few pics from last years semi final played on the Adelaide Oval.

Underneath the Fig Trees
Over the years I have spent many pleasant days at the Adelaide Test Match, usuually in December each year.
My favourite thing was to sit under the fig trees at the scoreboard end with my usual props.
Camera
About 10 rolls of film.
Sometimes a small unobtrusive tripod.
Binoculars
The day's newspaper
A magazine
A can of coke
A meat pie.
My idea of a great day out.
I still go to the test matches and I reckon that is still the best spot in spite of all the grandiose changes to the ground.
I am inteneding to put together a book on Adelaide Test matches,State Games,One day matches and also local club cricket from my photographic collection.
Many shots were taken on film and more recently digital.
Cameras I have used are Pentax Super A,Pentax MZs,Pentax 645,Pentax Kr and Kx,Pentax *iSTD,Canon 400d and Canon 600d.
Here are a few pics from a test match between Australia and South Africa in December 2001.
Scanned from 35mm prints.
All these shots were taken from my favourite spot sitting on the grass underneath the fig trees.
To all my readers and accidental visitors to this blog have a wonderful celebration of Christmas and the Birth of our Savior and a Happy New Year for 2015.

Australia v India Thursday 11/12/14
Yesterday I had a day out at the test Cricket between India an Australia at the Adelaide Oval.
An absorbing day's cricket.
It was full of tension due to the psychological barriers all players have been facing since the recent death of Australian player Phillip Hughes.
I came away having enjoyed the cricket but uncomfortable about where the game is going and the demise of what was the world's best Test Cricket Ground in the Adelaide Oval.
Nonethe less I took my usual share of pictures and a few are here.
