After Filter's set, crowd went into a chant calling for Shihad to come back.

Australia vs Pakistan @ Sydney Cricket Ground

This was a Christmas present for Mum. I had bought her tickets to the one day cricket second final at the SCG between Australia and Pakistan. It was hard to imagine that she had never been to a game. We sat in the Upper Messenger Stand, facing west. As you can see below we got a great view of the sunset as the lights cam on at the SCG. Australia blasted a quick 337 after 50 overs and had the crowd entertained. In response, Pakistan could only manage 185 , leaving Australia to win the game by 152 runs and take the finals series 2-0. I'm pretty sure Mum had a great time
