Well the games not going to grow down here if people don’t give the top domestic league a proper chance.
I was going to the games for a long time, when I was younger and had more time. It has gone backwards. It has effectively no advertisement and the games being removed from fox and put on paramount + hasn’t helped

a league is awful to watch on telly, the standard of football is dogshit really
Thats the perception because people try to compare it to European leagues like the Premier League, which isn’t fair. It’ll never be that standard, that kind money just isnt there and probably never will be. But the standard isnt dogshit.

Getting away from Fox was the right thing to do, they didn’t give a **** about the league in the end, they slashed all the production budgets and the coverage was rife with bugs and issues. It hasn’t been a great start with Paramount plus due to a lack of features and other teething issues, but there is potential for that to get better. If only SBS had the money for it, they’re production on the world cup was absolutely perfect.

That Gabba pitch is so green its hard to tell where the pitch starts and the outfield ends. We have two of the best bowling attacks in the world to unleash on that monster, good luck to whoever’s facing the first ball.

I've been in a side bowled out for 22.

I got the 2nd highest score by edging through the slips for 2 runs.

Im seriously at the point now where that spot is Boland’s. When Hazelwood’s fit, he’s 12th man for mine, he needs to try to force his way back in. Scotty’s more then earned it.

I'd be selecting Hazelwood for the Ashes in England. Starc could be the one at 12th man there.
