Imagine the possibility of a competition where events could be shared amongst states and stadiums instead of hearing people use the phrase "it's tradition" to make sure they get the access to what they want.

It’s only “tradition” when it’s over easr

The argument is that Sydney and Melbourne are the biggest markets so get the biggest Tests. This overlooks a couple of things when it comes to Sydney:
1. CA really only care about TV figures, let's be honest
2. The SCG only has a capacity of 48 000, so even if they want to maximise attendance they aren't going to get as many tickets sold
3. The number of refunds for rained out days also bites into that
4. Attendance in other cities would also get the boost of school holidays that the NY Test has, so total population is less relevant
5. Sydney would probably sell better than Perth or Brisbane for a non-school holidays Test, because of that larger population. If you assume 1-2% of any city is prepared to attend a Test in November/early December, the larger cities will naturally have more in raw numbers. If this percentage goes up to 5% in January, it's irrelevant to SCG attendance as the smaller capacity has already locked people out.

6. Sydney is a shit place to be & the people are campaigners.

Off to a good start with the Scorchers having a bat.

 

[THE A5]

No hardie either wowzers

That batting line up looks shaky with Luth being a walking wicket and basically having a tail after Turner

 

[Tugga27]

Hardie injured?

 

[squashface]

FKASC ’s man

 

[FKASC]

[Mulldogg]

Scorchers off to a flyer with the bat…

[RookiePick]

The **** is this scorchers...

Fold FFS!

 

[THE A5]

Hahaha Inglis/Turner or bust here.

 

[RookiePick]

What odds us defending 60 odd?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hahaha Inglis/Turner or bust here.

Such little faith in Hobson, how dare you.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Richardson at 7? What is this batting line up?

 

[THE A5]

So we lose Salt and Strikers lose Rashid to the SA league. Who would have thought 5 years ago that BBL lose players to an SA league

 

[THE A5]

Such little faith in Hobson, how dare you.

Yeah it’s a long tail after Turner

 

[RookiePick]

Horror movie. Right there on my TV.

 

[Agent93]

Just turned on the game, who Dazzlered the Scorchies?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Can pay a club in the SA league to take Lyth off our hands early?

It’s also his last game for us

 

[FKASC]

Thunder’s 11 is going to be very hard to beat. Three genuine international guns

 

[RookiePick]

Indian bookmakers got to our boys?

This is the worst performance of the season if you take out the 15 run game.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

It’s also his last game for us

For real? What the hell other league wants him?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

For real? What the hell other league wants him?

I guess someone else has a second lease on Lyth.
