    ...uh, New Zealand...you go to a cricket match 🏏!  Jumped on our bikes, brought our chairs, hung out. 
    The T20 match (only 20 overs each rather than 50) - still 3.5 hours each, and we saw a double header - the women - White Ferns against South Africa, then the Black Caps vs India. More happening in a cricket match than baseball - there's a hit almost every bowl.  Learned a few of the rules, but don't ask me for specifics 🤔.  I think there were more Indians there cheering than Kiwis.

    Not a bad way to spend the afternoon/evening, but we're not converts...
