Depends which type Legends. Aus tests at home do need to be.
That link backs up leysy's ascertion this will be the pivotal moment cricket in this country turns its way to a niche player.
All in the name of Sutherland getting his bonus, and not in the best interests of the game.
Shame Shame Shame

Yeah can see this happening too. My interest has been on the wane for a while now. Sport is at it's tipping point.
If he had any shame he would have fallen on his sword over yellowtapegate. He's all about the $. Seventeen years and he's led Australian cricket down a moral shithole and away from so much that made Australian cricket great. The bloke has a hide putting his hand out for a pay cheque, let alone a bonus.Leysy Days said:
Sutherland and those wankers at the ACB have just gone a long way to killing off cricket as Australias number one sport and killing off the importance of the Aussie Cricket Team in the scheme of Australian Life.
If kids cant see it they cant be it, and if they do not engage with the sport and have heroes from watching it they wont play its simple.
I always laugh when these wankers always use the excuse of putting money back into grass roots ............................... when they just delivered a program that diminishes the ability of fans and kids access to watching the games.
Sport has passed the tipping point on the scale where corporatisation improved coverage wages facillities etc etc etc to now actually killing the goose that layed its golden eggs etc.

Leaving tests on FTA and not the international ODI and T20s just emphasises how out of touch and incompetect Sutherland and CA really are.
While I don't want to get into a debate about the merits of test cricket, which I loved growing up, but clearly a five day match with no guaranteed result has a limited life-span in this day and age.
And the fact that the media is not going harder at them just shows what a collusion the whole industry is. How can this outcome be good for the public or for the long term future of the sport!
Sutherland must go.
