A couple of weeks ago i was driving by and noticed cricket being played. This is the old TCA ground on the domain and the last time i was there Clive Lloyd was captaining the West Indies in a One Day international so its been a long while!

    2. I was going to say that looks like a very English scene, but then I noticed the colour of the sky!!!

    3. Jackie is in right. The sky is what much more impressed me too.

    4. Yes Beautiful Blue Sky sky. Not a cloud to be seen anywhere.

    Of course the weekend after it snowed :-)

    5. A game I’ll never understand! I’m moving to Bangladesh though so I should attempt to figure it out …

    6. Rachel – yes they definitely play it there although against the rest of the world they aren’t that good :-)

    7. Beautiful, peaceful and serene!
    I’ve played football on that ground and used to watch the Hobart Tigers play home matches in TFL football for many years at that place, and it can be the complete opposite of that scene in winter!
    Footy in snow, hurricane strength wind and bitter cold are some enduring memories of that place – oh and Viv Richards (QLD) tonking Patrick Patterson (Tas) over the roof of the Hobart FC Stand and down into Davenport Street in a McDonald’s Cup match once LOL.

    8. I remember watching Tasmania beat W.A.in a one day final at the TCA. Was called the Gillette Cup way back then. Not sure what year that was!..God its sad getting old!
