Sids!! Funny how he celebrates while Hafeez and Azhar chat like nothing's happened. These review systems are a good laugh. :hihi

What are the participation and crowd figures not atributable to BBL? And the BBL was a licence to print money, any fool could have been in charge and it would have been a success.
The performance of the Australian mens team is getting worse, good luck with maintaining crowds and participation with that happening.
Of course with a weakened Australian team crowds will decrease (especially against lower crowd drawing countries like SL).IanG said:
Still don’t understand how this relates to the death of Australian cricket by appointing Roberts.
Look, I get it it, you’ve got a chip on your shoulder regarding Australian cricket, it’s obvious. So be it.
The garbage season fixture since the BBL has come in has ruined Australian Cricket.
Shield games used to lead into the Test Seies so players could get form.
One Dayers at the end.
Now one day domestic 50 over garbage leads into the tests and last few years BB was on pre Christmas also, so no opportunities to pick players on form or to help them find form.
Guys were getting Test call ups from the BBL.
Australian cricket is in trouble like all other countries.
20/20 hit and giggle in every country paying big bucks and the BCCI have ruined world Cricket.
CA have certainly had a hand in stuffing up the game here also as now has the TV rights $$$ grab.

Cricket has now officially jumped the shark for me. I have now lost all interest, even in Test Cricket. Sad but true.
That wasn't out. Ultraedge was the bat scraping the ground as the ball would've changed direction if it hit the bat.

I know this match looks depressing on tv, but with 75k at the mcg on Boxing Day, with some new kids doing well, hopefully you return to the fold.
I’m an optimist.
