A Surrey bowler bowls to a Kent striker.  Some of the bowlers get pretty animated with their windups.  This guy would run for about 30 feet before releasing the ball.

Tyra also sampled some local food at the match--a Cornish pasty filled with steak and stilton cheese.  Pasties are very traditional English food.  A pasty is basically a pastry filled with diced meat, cheese, potatoes, etc.  They come from Cornwall and were invented for miners who took them for lunch and would eat the insides and parts of the pastry, but would throw most of the pastry part away because their hands would get the outside all dirty.  Read the whole story here. I was going to share it with her (they are HUGE--so far the only thing in London actually worth the money you spend on it), but, as is usual with me and hot food, I took one bite and burned my tongue.  So Tyra inherited the whole thing. 

Anyway, it was really fun (and a nice break from studying for the Bar).


Thanks for the tickets, Uncle Shearman.

This hit was a “6”-- meaning it went out of the field (like a home run) and automatically scored 6 runs.
