Politics ads around election time always make me laugh.

No matter the party, it always feels like it was made by someone like this:

It's MS Paint level s**t.
 
Correct

Had a rare moment of self reflection whilst reading about this Brittany Higgins mess including comments from females about how the perceived threat of sexual assault is very real. Made me wonder why that might be the case which led me to the notion that a man in his mid 50’s might be better served not having a Twitter avatar of a beer resting on some random’s vag

So I changed on there. And here

Didn’t even have to have a discussion with my wife about it either

Also just realised Riley Meredith got picked up for a million USD which is nuts. Loves bowling pies
 
Cutting for 130k, Dan Christo for about 750k. Some of the numbers seem a bit all over the shop.
As I understand it, it's easy to pick up unsold people for cheap later, which is why apart from Cutting it seems to have all been all or nothing for the Aussies.

I think they love throwing cash at players who have generated recent hype in other leagues. Probably partly marketing related etc. I haven’t followed IPL much before but feel like I should get into it given Kayo makes it possible to do so

Yeah I reckon IPL would be a good watch but like you haven't tuned in beyond the odd highlights previously. Possibly due to when the games are on? I'll be keen to follow Richos journey.

Guys like Merideth and Richo are pure pace and I’m not sure if they will be successful in India. Merideth has been average for a bit and Richo got found later in the season on a slower wickets

At least Richo is a GOAT batter

India has a new 110,000 seat stadium and surprisingly/unsurprisingly it looks unflattering and cheap

TBF all those college stadiums are essentially cheap gunning for raw numbers of mostly uni kids and hicks who likely couldn't spell the name of the university.

Amazes me how socialism and communism can be so reviled over there but then "student athletes" aren't allowed to sell their autographs or likeness for a bit of money. I understand why (hint, the Archery club ain't going to pay for itself, and we don't want to give the money to the black footballers/basketballers anyway) but its still incredibly stupid.

The US has 8 stadiums bigger in capacity than the MCG all for college football. Capacity can come cheap or expensive.
It's not the capacity. It's the fact that it's new and is already outdates. It legit has two tiers and viewing is compromised for a lot of the spectators. Seats and certain parts of the stadium just looks cheap. I also believe the BCCI and India have the money to have done it properly too
