Who the **** was Don Nash? Did he win a competition to play that day?

They probably make more selling the tv rights to India than getting a good crowd at the G.
As a kid the one dayers were king. Taylor, Boon etc would struggle to make 230 and it would be enough for Warnie to defend.
They sanitised the crowd, somebody think of the families, until it became so shit the only people that show up are the ex pats of the touring team.

I remember Dion Nash who played for NZ but I can't say I remember Don Nash.
Cummins debuted in 2011. Must have been 8 years old according to the Fox stats.
The hill at Adelaide Oval was tremendous for impressionable teenagers ditching school to go watch an ODI or day of the test...
I remember a young lass flashing the hill every time she walked passed. Got a bigger cheer than most wickets!
I remember they banned the Mexican wave during the 2007 tri-series because game 1 of that series at the G was mental. 78k crowd out of control, but almost everyone there was having a blast even though the game was completely one-sided. That's when the whole atmosphere and the crowds started to die off. The tri series itself was scrapped the following year and it was all downhill from there.
I understand wanting a family friendly environment safe for kids etc, but surely it cant be that hard (especially in such a massive stadium) to just have designated family areas where your kids aren't going to see flashing or fights or swearing etc. And then you can leave the Bay 13 area for people who want to go and make that atmosphere. But no, let's treat the entire crowd like toddlers, that'll keep em coming back.

Looking on cricinfo he actually played quite a bit. 40 odd FC games and average 30 odd. Looked like Doug the rug.
It was the golden era of domestic cricket on FTA. Mercantile Mutual signs. Could name Thorneley, Holdsworth, McNamara, Chee Que etc as NSW domestic players from that era but legit couldn't recall him at all.

Skull sounding like he's auditioning to be Robbo's replacement talking about the AFL GF

Looks like Babar has finally realised this is an ODI and not a test match.
He must have had a hard time trying to find a helmet that could fit that fat head of his.

I use to do that when Shane Warne came on comms. I hated his commentary as he’d crap on about the same thing for his whole stint constant whinging. I’d switch to 7 for half an hour then switch back as I can’t stand the ads.

Sean Abbott will hope he bowls better than his fielding was in the early overs.

God O’Keeffee talks some shit.
‘They know Rizwan has been out a few times last summer to that short cover fieldsman, it’s a definite tactic.’
He has olayed 6 innings against Australia in the last two years and once he was out in the offside chasing quick runs when they were seven down.

The darts here suffered the same fate. The first one was mental at Marvel stadium, crowd was insane. Then security was so OTT the next year that half the crowd was evicted before the final, atmosphere completely died. Now the events are held in Wollongong and Townsville in tiny arenas instead of capital city entertainment centres...
I mean shit, if you've watched darts you know the crowd gets a touch rowdy!

The stupid part with Warnie was he had a very very smart cricket brain. He never needed the bullshit about pizzas and whatnot.
The carrier pigeon doesn't get to Sydney until tommrow
