Why is there so much women's cricket

[Drunkcat]

All the bloody time women's cricket feels like the play twice as much as the men.

If the women played more test matches then we'd likely see less ODI & T20 formates in the women's comp

But because there's so few longer formate matches for the women, they make up for it with additional shorter format matches

There's a World Cup on.

But by way of comparison, in 2024 (so far) the Australian women's team has played:

7 x ODIs
16 T20Is
1 x test (3 playing days)

Compared to the men:

8 x ODIs
19 x T20Is
5 x tests (20 playing days)

And there is vastly more domestic cricket for men than women.

So you're wrong. If you don't like women's cricket, fine, just don't watch it.

don't worry there's some men's ODIs and T20s to complain about next month...

Because there are cities in India with more women than the whole of Australia.

Its the world, its called equality and there getting paid way more then they are bringing in thats a given.

Once you watch women’s cricket , there is no way back.

We are lucky that the Aussie national team is a pretty successful team and the WBBL is the number 1 tournament in the world. And the crowds I’ve seen in : Perth, Melbourne and Sydney are testament to the brand the Aussie women are playing.

Then you don't really need to worry about how much cricket is on then. I think we're done here.
