My guess is you probably sit down to piss as well.So, encourage kids to act (depending which lawyer you listen to) illegally?
And as if would trust anything a lawyer said...Lol.

The games I fear for are the Tests against Sri Lanka, the crowd for those might be lamentable particularly if India touch us up.
The timing of those two tests are odd. Just as people start to get over cricket, are watching the Australian Open and thinking ahead to the footy seasons CA somehow thinks its a grand idea to end the summer with two tests against a lowly opponent. No one will go to the Brisbane test but at least Canberra will have the novelty factor and all the public servants will be back from their Christmas breaks.
A day night test over the Australia Day period should be enough of a novelty factor to draw people in I think.The timing of those two tests are odd.

CA spinning bullshit as well, saying it's not possible to broadcast cricket without Foxtel. Free-to-air channels now have multiple channels, 10 said they would broadcast everything, men's and women's. It's possible, they just wanted the cash now, screw the future.
That is true, but you're probably talking about hundreds of millions of dollars difference between the bid they accepted and a FTA only bid. That can buy a lot of junior cricket sets.
That's not to say CA made the right call, but it's not quite as easy as simply saying "we only want FTA".
The Foxtel/Ch7 bid was for $1.2 billion and the Ch10 bid was for around $1 billion so about a $200 million difference.
That extra money might help CA buy some more junior cricket sets but there will also be a lot of junior cricketers that can't watch ODI/T20 games on FTA now.
Most of those kids will watch big bash anyway.
$200 million for a few short form games plus the occasional BBL game on Fox isn't exactly a terrible deal. Especially when you get games on 7 instead of 10.
Because I'm a cricket fan, not a capitalist or marketing graduate. Sport on free-to-air TV isn't free, it's paid for by advertising. So the question is, why should we pay more for something now than we used to, what's the justification for the fan (we know what the justification is for Foxtel and CA executives). To paraphrase Bill Hicks, we need to quit putting a goddamn dollar figure on every ******* thing on the planet.Why should sport automatically be something that is still available for free in the modern era?
With cricket for example, there’s a lot more games across the Aussie summer now, it makes sense not all are on FTA. The majority still are on FTA anyway.

Red or red curry indians? there is a slight difference and they will shuffle the decks to make the point..Pretty confident the Australian support will be as strong as ever during the Test series. A few of the Indians I spoke to last night who were up and about for the T20 weren’t really interested in attending tests, whereas for Aussies it’s generally the opposite case.
Not quite sure what you mean here mate hahaRed or red curry indians? there is a slight difference and they will shuffle the decks to make the point..
lateral thinking will get there and if not then haha..Not quite sure what you mean here mate haha
I dunno man, red curry is a Thai dish AFAIK. Not expecting too many Thais to attend the test serieslateral thinking will get there and if not then haha..
I reckon I could copy and paste this line for every post Leeda has ever made .Not quite sure what you mean here mate haha
Michael Clarke allegedly stated he is not happy with lack of free to air cricket (view shared by 1000s of australians). Would his viewpoint be any different if he was working for foxsports?

If the videos they've been doing for Cricket Australia are anything to go by they should probably stick to twitter/podcasts.The Grade Cricketer boys will be doing a show on Channel 7 on Tuesday's during the test series according to their podcast.
