Banter RDT 156 - Old Gold

[kane249]

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

Given some of the corruption that happens over there I wouldn't be surprised if they said it cost $X, in reality it only cost $Y and people along the way pocketed the difference

Do the locals really give a s**t though? Assume they'd be happier with capacity than appearances.

Far from the worst of the three.

You can get the NZ call on YouTube if you have a VPN too.

Yeah I’d posted that before realising Mark Waugh was there too

Annoyingly, this game was only down the road from where I live. If I'd known Cam Green was playing, I 100% would've thought about going, then thought,"Nah, can't be stuffed." and continued on with all my gardening chores and regular weekend duties.

This is a Scorchers level recovery by NZ after dropping early wickets

Wouldn't want to waste good commentary on a result like this. Clearly we knew this performance was coming.

 

[DanWCE]

Oooooft and now they're backing it up with the ball like the Scorchers

Mitch Marsh is the greatest Australian T20 player of all time.

T20 should be only kept as a format used in domestic leagues.

Nah. But thats purely cause I don't want cricket to get into the olympics and they play T10 or The Hundred

Nah, it makes money and it's a good entry point for both smaller nations and new fans

The shortened game makes sense for domestics, not internationals. If people want to follow a professional shortened bat and ball game, they best be following baseball in the States. Cricket will always be a fifty over, or five day game.

I cant believe T10 is a thing.

They'll be following baseball cause that'll be all that is left. Australia, England and India are the only countries that don't lose money from hosting tests ffs.

T20 and most significantly the IPL is killing cricket as I knew it
