The England cricket team arrive in Perth for the start of their Ashes defence. Rio wants to go to the airport at midnight to see them arrive. We say no. He wants to find out which hotel they are in and go there. We say no. Then, the day before they start their first match, instead of practicing at the WACA like usual, they came to our local cricket field, across the road from Rio's school, to practice there. Rio cycled home from school oblivious to the presence of his heroes just past the car park. We only find out the following day that they had been in the same nets that we use and had a mini-game in the middle! Here's a picture of Kevin Pieterson batting in our nets and in the second picture Rio's school is just behind the car park in the background (photo credits to Floreat Subiaco cricket club):
