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.
You can borrow them from the west lakes library. I'd imagine they are all out for Christmas already thoughWon't arrive till tomorrow now

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.
Cricket Australia did for the Domestic 50 over Cup in 2010/11.
I don't think it worked very well at all.
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
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
Insolvent firm run by ex-AFL star wipes millions in debt via 'legal phoenixing'
A digital marketing agency run by a former AFL star has wiped its millions in debt through an insolvency process, only to open under a new ABN days later. Former staff were left without a job and almost $450,000 in unpaid entitlements, but it's within the bounds of the law and leaves taxpayers...

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.

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

ODI would cup is my favourite cricket tournament comfortably.
Yeah, it's the only format that lends itself to a World Cup style tournament. T20 is too random and test cricket is too impossible.
