20/20 crowd at the GABBA getting more than they expected

Over 3.1: Announcement just made that the match has to be abandoned. Far too much rain has fallen. The oval resembles a lake.
Over 3.1: Still raining but slowing a bit. CROWD tonight 10083 - a great crwod for Brisbane`s first KFC 20/20
06/01/06 8:42PM
Over 3.1: The lights have gone out - seems not much hope of a resumption! An eerie sight with torrential rain and swirling wind.
06/01/06 8:35PM
Over 3.1: Hail is now falling with huge claps of thunder and lightening.
For every one I miss I am closer to a hole in one.

Perth attracted nearly 15,500 for their match. Fair effort.

20/20 cricket,laughable methinks. It has been around for years,it was just called indoor cricket,and if 20/20 does take off,look out for an ageing outfit called the Hellions.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Laughable seems to fit aptly in the list of attractions.

On the back of each player's jumper, it had their nick-name, instead of proper name.
