Fall and Fall of Big Bash

[peternorth]

I went to two days of the Test (Days 3 & 4) at the MCG and used PT to get there and back from Western Vic.

80% of fans in the non MCC section were of Indian descent and I can assure you they weren’t barracking for Australia. The Train on the way home emptied out at Tarneit.

Does something need to be done or looked at in relation to this? Seems to be a common complaint when we play india

Not at all - these folks are cricket nuts - looking thru the Dowling Shield results - lots of South East Asian kids playing and performing well.

The Saints bringing back the old school collars for our 150th game was pretty good.

Only became an official thing announced by CA since BBL|09.

What happened to the deal with 2-year contracts, so we could ensure internationals would stay here for the whole season?

Who were those players, and where the **** are they now?

This is a pretty embarrassing standard of names for our finals series.

The team sheets tonight were grim. I actually turned it off cause I couldn’t care less about half the players.

The only one I know of is Finn Allen.
And he was disappointing.

Unless the tournament is shortened by a few weeks, you won't get many players committing.
