Gilchrist stars as Australia shines in the rain

We spent a busy day yesterday preparing for Annika's first Communion and party, which will be held later today.
We cleaned the house, set up chairs and tables outside (40 people are coming over? huh?) and picked up food from the caterer.
In between, I followed yesterday's Premiership football (Man. Utd. rallied from 2-0 down to defeat Everton, 4-2, and inch closer to the title), the NFL draft (my 49ers selected LB Patrick Willis, OT Joe Staley and WR Jason Hill, who grew up in the Filmore District and attended San Francisco's Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory School) and the Cricket World Cup final.
Australia defeated Sri Lanka by 53 runs in a match shortened by rain and ultimately darkness in Barbados.
Adam Gilchrist (pictured) starred for the Aussies, scoring 149 off 104 balls as the champions batted first and built a towering lead of 281-4.
Sri Lanka fell too far behind, and the elements and Australian batters hampered their efforts to rally.
Now... on to the church!
