27000 + people , some with short attention spans, rolled up at the Adelaide Oval game last night
Probably needed a cricket fix, as they were starved of cricket for almost 2 hours since stumps in the Brisbane Test match

When they showed the commentators and the table in front of them that they used to show fielding position by playing with a tablet. The Mrs said they shouldve got out the Test Match board game as it wouldve looked much better and made more sense!

, We also went to day one of the test, it was a bit more subdued but watching Warner in full flight was awesome.

Well...

For the first time last night, I actually enjoyed a T20 game.
I watched it at my cricket club and the combination of a few beers, some banter and a club interest in the game made it really enjoyable.
Maybe, I'm thawing towards this thing.

If you weren't entertained by last night then you aren't a cricket fan. Sure, the nuances of test cricket still trump it, but it was still fun to watch.

[carey]

I watch it, As I'm simply a cricket fan.

I would've thought it's pretty simply, If you don't like T20 cricket DONT F*+KING WATCH IT!

Big call there Benny.
I will sit and watch every ball of a days play of a test match or shield game but not interested in 1 over of a T20.
Doesnt make less of a cricket lover.
Watched about an hour of the Windies test which was probably longer than what SA batted for anyway lol

[mal]

In all seriousness this pisses me off
Brad Hodge playing for the Adelaide team
Callum Ferguson playing for Melbourne Renegades team tonight

Does not feel right
Cousin Brad is a ripper cricketer but its more logical for both he and The Ferg to play in their home states

This merry go round of players devalues the comp
Entertainment = 8 out of 10
Players shunted from team to team =2 out off 10

[RustyCage]

It's their choice to go play elsewhere
