The next decade....what's in store?

How I planned and plotted and longed for this day to come. It's the start of the World Cup. Not football Dr D. That lovely game called cricket.
I applied to a US university for admission in 2003, specifically with the four year course (PhD) in mind. When I deferred enrollment until 2004, in order to take up a short term training contract (search the site for 'PhD' and you will find the stories), I knew I could not be away at this time, and so told the university 'thanks but no thanks'. Ok, is not only that....the course was not the right one for me.
So now that day has come. I am watching the West Indies in the opening match against Pakistan. Everything from a spectator perspective has gone well.
The atmosphere is fantastic. The weather, perfect. And West Indies are not in such a bad position so a victory is quite possible. Here are a few pics....

Girl I had a great day.... let's hope we keep it up!! (and any spare press passes for the other matches, please let me know!!! Much as i love the atmosphere in the stands, some a/c would have been nice at some points!)
