Last night I attended another cricket match – a one-day match between South Africa and India at the historic Wanderers Stadium in Joburg. Unlike the test match I attended a few weeks ago, which lasted for five days, this one began at 2:30 in the afternoon and ended around 10:00.
The final score says it all: India 190, South Africa 189.
This photo was taken when it looked like South Africa would win. In the end, the home team came up one painful run short.
I don’t have time to write much about the match so I’ll just share a few photos.
A crazy group of dancers advertising for MTN mobile network. They performed this dance just for me, but at the end I had to inform them that I’m sticking with Vodacom.Mini donuts, half chocolate and half caramel. They are a very popular stadium snack. I thought they were so-s0. (That lukewarm opinion didn’t stop me from inhaling them all in about five seconds.)A family of India fans. We may be in South Africa, but the crowd was split about evenly between the two teams. Cricket is HUGE in India.This is what a stadium looks like after eight hours of cricket.
Not being a cricket follower, I always think the one day matches a much more sensible way to deal with cricket boredom:-) Nice pics telling the visual story….especially the mess left afterwards.

It’s not soccer but it looks just as fun :-) Cool photographs!
