Sleepy
I've been reading the dooms dayers on safooty denounce 20/20 and predicting it will lose its appeal
But the fact is the comp is going strong in season 3
There's a new generation of cricket watchers rolling up in droves to watch it
To them its a 'few' hour package
That time span in line with Aussie Rules, and Soccer
They get a result
They have a team to follow'
There's a premiership ladder
Finals
Grand Final
They want results, and excitement and they get it in 3 hours
Yep , spot on, it suits people with short attention spans , but cant argue with the crowds [so far]
Compare a BBL Grand Final to some of the slow paced at times boring SS grand Finals we have seen often enough over the years
Personally
I treat these games as entertainment
Its a change from watching movies and other programmes on TV
Something to watch , its called cricket, it ain't cricket in Sleepy and Mal's eyes , but it is to others, many many others
Your allowed to be bored or unsatisfied with BBL
There are others like Booney, REB, Jackpot Jim who support you in thought
I just don't think those other guys need to remind us about it all the time about how bad the BBL is
Perhaps they should start their own thread , and let the rest of us enjoy it
