The Temple of Melbourne

One day before the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia we visited the holy grounds of the MCG. A really awesome stadium and absolute evidence of the locals passion for sport. Our guide took us all over the grounds and gave us a really good history of the structure and the events that have made it famous. He thought I was really chuffed to be standing in the Australian teams box but I actually had a bit of wind and couldn't think of a better spot to release it. We walked through the Long Room but I unfortunately wasn't allowed to hang around because I had forgotten to wear my suit and old spice. The ground staff don't miss a thing and even spent a good couple of hours vacuuming the entire field.
