Oh the kid from ACT
how well is Ludeman hitting them?
it's great to watch.
Strikers have killed it and done what neither of our AFL clubs can do. They've created a prime time "occasion" time slot that now goes into everyone's calendar on 1 Jan.Fair crowd there last night
Given it is a tier down from the elite level it's pretty amazing
Dammit - I will be at the Gabba for the game so hoping we can over come that, critical players thoughNo Tait or Hodge on Sunday

I'm kind of curious about the BBL phenomenon. This league is killing international cricket in terms of crowd support.
Is it the game ie 20/20 cricket?
Or is it that, as a country, we are now more familiar/ comfortable with a domestic national league eg AFL, NRL, A - League etc
Whatever it is - BBL is now the no1 cricket option in town
My wife went the other way, from a non cricket supporter to loving test cricket but not the bbl.I see it as the perfect complement to test cricket. We've had three gripping test matches on during the day plus the popcorn entertainment during the evening.
I hope T20 is the vehicle that gets youngsters interested in the game, and that initial interest grows into a love of the game. Once they start enjoying cricket then they will want more and as they get older will appreciate the subtleties and tension of a test match. You play checkers before you play chess.
Test cricket to a newcomer is a hard sell. T20 not so much - it's a movie or a football game in terms of time commitment.
I know traditionalists see T20 as a threat but I think it is something that can help sustain test cricket long term, helping to breed a new generation of cricket fans.
c'mon boys so close now, you can do it
