Do people even like International T20's outside of the WC ? you'd get more at BBL these days

T20 is only mildy memorable when the World Cup rolls around.

 

[010203]

Building on from my last post, even the recent bilateral in NZ, involving NZ and Pakistan seeing the games on Kayo- it was mostly sell outs across all 5 games.

Of the grounds used in that series, only Eden Park holds more than 15K.

 

[JimmyBC]

By the time the international ODIs and T20s start the public has already had their fill of limited overs cricket from the BBL.

There is no appetite left for these games.

Yep and they become franchise heads & the national hit 'n giggle side is meh.

 

[Some Idiot]

Cool to see Bartlett have some success at this level!

 

[icyflakes]

Would be good to see Carty go on to ton up here, if these boys are here in 10 overs we should have a real contest on our hands.

 

[wagstaff]

Highest ever 5th wicket ODI partnership for the West Indies at the MCG.

 

[Westend]

The hundred run partnership up between Carty and Chase, they have got the Windies back in it now.

well it was a stupid decision to bowl first by aus

good needed that

 

[The King!]

I guarantee in Australia right now, an International T20 cricket would be more popular than an ODI 50 over game involving Australia.


The last bilateral series I have watched involving West Indies and England in the Caribbean on Kayo suggested to me that it was mostly full houses over there. I watched a snippet of India v Afghanistan recently too in a bilaterial series, and Indian crowds can pull in decent numbers even for an opposition of the calibre of Afghanistan.

Probably true but that's because this game means nothing , and cricket australia make that clear by chucking it at the end, resting half the team etc

If it meant something the crowds would be better imo

 

[The King!]

May as well play at junction oval

 

[nobbyiscool]

Not sure about CA's tactic of keeping ODIs a secret.

Didn't even know this was on, there hasn't been a single ad for, nor any promotion anywhere.

 

[Broar]

Bowl Bartlett you cowards

 

[Santana]

Of those grounds, only Eden Park holds more than 15K.

Yep, not really sure why you made that post NYRB

No one else is close to the size of some of Australia and India's grounds, so trying to do comparisons is weird

 

[Chism]

Morris has some pace but he is woeful.

Safe to say we know the reason why he has waited so long for a game.

[Westend]

ffs how many times has the ball been in the air this innings and just fallen short ?

FC he has been very good. Possibly going to be a Test bowler more than short form. |

Still, won't be judging anyone on one game.

 

[Jimthegreat]

For the umpteenth time the ball goes in the air and just misses fieldsmen.

 

[Santana]

Terrible running, ouch

 

[Westend]

thats terrible for carty

talk about running out your mate thats village walsh

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That’s just flat out torching your teammate.

 

[Headless]

Wow, that sucks. Good throw, but unfortunate way to get out.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That was just a stupid run.

 

[dumb]

6 down at 41 overs, you might think this could fizzle out. but we do like a to let rearguard happen.

 

[The 4th Horseman]

Might be a few death stares in the changerooms after that !

 

[BACCS]

Horrible by Walsh there. Can barely rotate strike, then decided it is a great time to run when hitting straight to a fielder, with your established partner going to the danger end.
