Yea it seems the only time people are up for ODI's now is when the World Cup comes around, it's weird when you have a sport with three formats. I wouldn't even have International T20's just leave it for the BBL's & IPL's etc. etc. who on earth cares who won the last T20 World Cup? the waters are so muddy.

Use to love odi but I don't care anymore , no idea why , use to love the tri series

It’s because it’s been flooded, there’s T20 everywhere and now you have the woman’s T20 also.
Basically I’m the same as you. The ODI’s with the visiting test teams playing after the test matches seemed to blend in well now there’s so much of everybody being involved in some form of reduced over games. It’s become boring and I’ve stopped watching myself also.

Remember when ODI's were good
They went the AFL route of more and more rule changes to make it higher scoring. If they undid most of those and brought it back to it's 80's - early 2010's peak, where it was a real battle between bat and ball it'd be much better. Obviously bat still is more advantaged then test cricket, but it's up their with AFLx, trying to turn it into a longer form 20/20.

The Gold Standard was when Tests were played across the whole summer, with ODI matches interspersed throughout. Test Cricket starting end of November/early December and ending early February

Only international t20s should be the world cup
 
This reminds me of how gilly/Ponting and even hussey who caught the back end of their careers are confused about why their cricket team is seen by loved moreso than others and it's pretty simple

That was the last era where bugger all cricket was hidden by a paywall
It doesn't help newer players (newer being 20 odd years now), that the shift to more and more on Pay-TV and then other platforms coincided with the end of Australia's era of dominance in both Test's and consecutive World cups, that likely will never be equalled by any country. That, also like the AFL, Cricket Australia tries to stomp out any hint of personalities from players.

Less than 2 years ago Australia were reigning in champs in tests, ODIs and T20s all at the same time
I don't think the dominance is the key factor but the accessibility
 
I'm still trying to work out which want Papa wants to punch those people? Does the want to punch the Ela-fants or the Ele-fants?
Im more interested in where the a is in helicopter... helicoptar? Halicopter? Or was it supposed to be an i and its helacopter?

And is the issue with people who pronounce them with an a? Or people who dont? But also specifically people who call the mcg the g AND also pronounce helicopter with an a somewhere are bad? What if they only do one but not the other...

This nose punching conditional seems to have more confusing rules than Selfie Man/Selfie From Hell.

I feel like we need much more explanation here.

What he really means is 'Helicaptor' and 'Elophants' at 'The Jee' :cool:
 

What a scumbag.


This is far more common than people realise too.

There’s one Adelaide business man who did this repeatedly in the hospitality industry. I suspect it’s very common there.

An Adelaide jeweller my partner worked for did this (a while after she left)

Decades ago I was ripped off by a mechanic shop and after a year of chasing them up I found out the owner had an list of former businesses too long to even name , each with incredibly long lists of reports against them to the accc and debts (a fact I was only told because of personal connections inside government departments who connected me to the right people who told me stuff that otherwise they couldn’t have told me)

My dads former employer did this




It’s absolutely foul. I wish the absolute worst to the scum that do this.
 
Lost both our dogs within months over a year ago now. Have just got news that a beagle breeder we had been on a waitlist for has had a litter and one can be ours in a out 8 weeks. 😍

Don't know if he was a 'ducker' as a player, but he's now the corporate equivalent.
