Final BBL Game

The Big Bash came back to Canberra for the play off between Thunder and Heat for a spot in the grand final. We secured tickets and returned from the coast early enough to unpack, get organised and arrive at the game by 7pm.

It was a disappointing game especially with the Heat easily winning. The funniest moment of the evening was when a group of boys (around 10 - 12yrs) started collecting bucket hats from the stands and stacking these on one of the their heads. The hat stack was getting quite high with the boys having trouble reaching high enough to put the next bucket on. The main boy would bend down, then the other boys would stand on steps in order to reach high enough. Anyway the hat bucket stack grew very high and caught the attention of the crowd. It rose higher and as the boy walked the stack began to wobble and the crowd would ooh and aah at this precarious situation! Unfortunately the stack wobbled a bit too much and tipped over right spilling bucket hats everywhere - the crowd went wild!! More unfortunately this occurred in front of a security officer who subsequently gave the boys a dressing down and confiscated the majority of the bucket hats much to the displeasure of the crowd who booed very loudly!! Great entertainment!
