The Melbourne Cup is being held for the 150th time this year and is often described as “the race that stops the nation”. In 2010 it seems to live up to its moniker with torrential rain flooding Victoria’s capital.

A few Fridays ago we felt the stress of work getting to us. And instead of heading straight for the pub we found “OfficeCricket” and its rough cousin “StreetCricket” to be great tension relief.
Here is Mike dressed in Baggy Gold showing off to the rest of Holler, fine skill and posture indeed.
A few moments later quiet little Bellevue Street served as the real battleground. Mike’s batting and bowling started to shine. Firstly, knocking it for six onto a neighbour’s balcony and secondly, making Ian look very English by bowling him out straight away.
