Super League (Div 1) Match 4 vs Sentrum S A CK
India 0 v Rest of the World 1
There was some world-class cloud-watching on display at Ekeberg 1 as we watched the clouds roll in from the luxury surroundings of a porter cabin. Then was brief excitement with a coin toss (put in to bat by Sentrum) and our openers even got to put their pads on, but that was as near as we got to any cricket. The only two games on display were:
a) the traditional cricket game of ‘how soon can we get the umpires to call the match off?’
b) the less traditional game of football
There were some solid football skills on display in a couple of halves of football on a wet outfield. India lived down to their ranking of 121st in the FIFA Rankings with an enthusiastic but disjointed display, picked off by the Rest of the World all-stars on a couple of counter-attacks, and the only goal came from a thumping finish from Erik that went through Dennis on the line.
