I have no love for T20 but could spend 5 days watching tests or all day watching one dayers. T20 just doesn't grab me. It's like 7's rugby for me. Fine to drink to or have in the background but I couldn't care less about a result or remember a day later. When it first came out, I tried to get into the IPL but it didn't stick. But background in the pub, it beats the wrestling.

I enjoy T20 but nothing in that format can give me the joy seeing the Windies bowling the Poms out for 77 in the first test gives me.

20/20 is like basketball ....... just turn on the TV to watch the last couple of minutes, or overs, for the result. Give me a test match any time.

Good to see Mastens Laundrysink doing well in the todays test.

Its okay to enjoy all 3 forms of cricket. Hating T20 doesn't make you any more or less of a real cricket fan
I find it hard to believe that you have never sat through a T20 game. Do yourself a favour and watch the IPL when its on. The strategy and skill is considerably higher than the Big Bash

It's lucky I don't consider myself any more or less a cricket fan then isn't it? I don't hate it, it just doesn't grab me, I understand evryone has different tastes and I'm ok with that.

Happy Australia Day everyone. We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

I hope that next year we celebrate on a different day, though. #changethedate

I just want the Aussies to start getting some confidence and enjoying it again.

Yeah time to change it.

Feels right.

When?

Should call it something else too... Maybe that day they finally said sorry?

I dunno...

And then Jase Holder hits 200* and the Poms are chasing 600

3 March - the legislation is passed that severed our last ties to the UK as a superior authority.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Act_1986

Granted no one will really understand or remember why it's 3 March, but given 90% of Australians couldn't tell you why it was 26 January until people started arguing to change it, I don't see this as an issue.


Alternatively, Wattle Day on 1 September is an already existing holiday designed to do much the same as Australia Day that we just sort of forgot about.

There’s nothing more Australian than enjoying England getting bopped in the cricket. Glorious.

As if the Poms getting rolled for 77 wasn't enough, the opposing number 8 batsman makes 200, oh Lordy.

Why would we do that if, according to two recent surveys, 75%+ of those surveyed do not want change?

Anyone seen the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix ?
Crazy stuff

 

[avishka5]

Kinda sucks that I have to watch my adopted country * this s**t out of my country of origin in Australian day. I guess I’ll just sit here and drink.

 

[JordanWCE]

How much longer can Priddis Starc be debated?

Completely irrelevant when you consider the % of non-Indigenous people in this country.

Change the date.

Aussies beating up tourists on Australia day, makes you feel patriotic doesn't it?
