Cricket World Cup

This year the host nations for the 2015 Cricket World Cup are Australia and New Zealand. While I was in Sydney, the pool play for the tournament was just finishing up. I had the opportunity to watch a match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The match was between England and Afghanistan. Both teams were already knocked out of the tournament, so this match was simply for pride. It was by no means a very big game, so I was able to secure tickets for a very reasonable price. I would estimate that only a fourth of the entire stadium was full. It was very rainy that day, so the match was postponed multiple times and I never even got to see England bat. However I was able to see a large contingency of Afghan supporters who's numbers outweighed those of England's.
