Banter TRTT Part 13: 2021 Goodbye (To 2022)

[JimmyBC]

True, I couldn't be bothered with the Indian Super League or whatever it's called. But I'll watch the domestic comps.

T10 on the way. Let's have 4 poorly attended formats.

The sport of Cricket in Australia in all sorts. Atrocious crowds all round. Unfathomable even a decade ago.

My personal reasons for losing interest in no particular order:

• shit commentary on tv
• too much meaningless cricket
• unlikeable Aussie players (Warner, Clarke's faux tough guy crap, knobhead wicket keepers post-gilchrist)
• too many unbalanced contests (2 day test match against a crap west indies zzzz)
• test pitches that are absolute roads
• I enjoyed BBL as a distraction for a while but then they made it go for 3 months... Too much. Too many pointless games with nothing at stake.

The BBL was really getting traction & bumper crowds before the powers that be got too greedy.

As usual greed ruins everything

I've never watched a T20 game. Haven't watched a 50 over games in years... Test cricket I will sometimes sit down with a beer and watch a bit...

Does using the ignore list mean your getting old? I would love to put patient mental + farm experts and a few others on there, but also can’t be assed with it all.

Is anyone going to get up for the sawker? not sure I can be ****ed with that either given we'll lose.

Why would you ignore patient mental? his positivity is infectious

Farm experts?

Yeah I'll be up to watch the soccer.

Adelaide United are the Camry Crows of soccer.

Adelaide City need to get into the A league.

Port Adelaide City

Port Adelaide City

Even better! Let's see Eddie and co cry when they come out wearing the prison bars

Every state team with those colours is the Camries. It helps that they bought half of them.

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd probably get into the A-League if there was another team here.

Its almost as if continually hiding sport behind pay tv for a cash grab is shit for the sport long term

Alex Carey is a knob? now ive heard it all

A dead rubber on a Tuesday in a nothing series is a tough sell regardless of coverage.

I’d support a ‘traditional’ club.
Can’t be doing with franchises like United.

 

[dirty2]

I supported Adelaide City many years ago.. went to 4/5 Adelaide United games the first few years but that was mainly cos my mates had jumped on the United band wagon... (I didn't like the Reds Nick name being an arsenal supporter)

If city joined I would have more interest.. another franchise I don't know.

Yep.

The lack of a local derby in a reasonable sized city is such a buzz kill.

 

[edgie]

I wonder if the complete lack of ODI cricket on free to air tv is killing it.

I admire Sean Abbott I'd never be able to play again after the Phil Hughes bouncer.

All A-League teams are the Camry Crows of soccer. Removing the ethnic roots of the old NSL clubs when forming the league sucked all the soul out of the comp.
