Bangalore airport was very modern and quite new, and after a few issues sorting out overweight baggage (not an issue in the end as they quite sensibly averaged the weight out over all group members) we were soon through customs and onto the plane. Take off on schedule just after 11pm but it was a long night flying through to Singapore with very little chance to sleep.
The 3 hour stopover in Singapore seemed to take an eternity, but then it was onto the plane and off to Perth. We arrived on time just after 2pm. Customs took some time as they were interested in the cleanliness of our cricket boots, which a few needed cleaning, but we were soon through the doors and into the warm welcome of family and friends.
The tour now over, back to the realities of work and our normal daily lives! Cam has his work cut out, with almost 31 hours of tape that needs review and editing. We all eagerly await Cam what you will produce.
And so it has ended. Farewell Lucky and Farewell India! We all have such wonderful memories of an amazing 18 days. Shabash, shabash! Hopefully we can look forward to welcoming a team from Bangalore to our shores in the not too distant future.
On behalf of everyone at Pinjarra Cricket club, thanks again to Senthil, Thilak, Dennis Lillee, MRF, The Park Hotel and their staff, Sriram Group, BEL Sports Club, the Solitaire Hotel and their staff, and of course Lucky, for a totally amazing experience that we will never forget.
