I wanted to go in person but I got lazy and watched from the couch instead. kind of regret it, but I wasn't going to put on pants at the halfway stage...

It was an absolute pleasure to watch that game live.

Getting to see and feel how the heat of the day stabilized the uneven bounce and make it more predictable was very different to seeing it on person. seeing the green lines in the pitch intensity fade while feeling the air getting warmer, seeing the ball bounce in the same way for the first time around the 12th over and then seeing Markram and KLaasen find sweet sweet timing shortly after that was fascinating.

I have been to quite a few games live in person but I have never get to experience something like that where the conditions changed and I noticed it, only ever seen conditions change like that on TV
