Day 17: Indiana
Welcome
Yesterday we had a day off and we drove to Indianapolis. We played cricket and started watching Stranger Things 3.
I foolishly woke up early to catch the free hotel breakfast. I had a biscuit with gravy, a biscuit with sausage and bacon, a few pieces of potato, a bowl of muesli, a pottle of yoghurt, and an orange.
I watched the last half of the Black Caps vs India game and afterwards I was a very happy man. I would like to thank Martin Guptill for the best run-out I've seen all tournament. After the game I went for a run and checked out the campus of Ohio State University. The University Stadium is the third largest on-campus stadium in the US, with an official capacity of 105,000.
Ohio Stadium has been ranked No. 2 in 'Best Atmosphere', by ESPN Football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. The University football team the Buckeyes also scored the No. 2 spot in Mel's ranking of 'Best Uniforms/Helmets'.
Ever wonder why road repairs in the US are a shambles? This vehicle is why.
We created a new segment yesterday called Jono's Surprise Drink, where Jono buys you a surprise drink.
In the evening we watched the first episode of Stranger Things 3.
Beth of the day goes to Martin Guptill for a real 'speccy' of a wicket at the end of the NZ-India game. Congratulations Martin both for earning this accolade and for your part in helping New Zealand win the World Cup semi-final, against the greatest of odds.
