Yeah just noticed that. Think we are playing India A today over there.
Warner out for 25. Renshaw 11, Shaun Marsh and Steve Smith batting now.
Smith first drop on 45, Marsh on 23.
I reckon there would be more Sri Lankans aware and interested in attending tonight's T20 game than the average Aussie cricket following punter.
Cricket Australia do a horrific job of advertising, or even making their fans aware that series and matches are on.
I consider myself a pretty big cricket fan, although I do get busy at times (like today) and miss the fact that a series is starting. The idea that that could happen with the AFL is inconceivable, but it's happened more than once with the cricket.
Last year I received an invitation from Cricket Australia to do a detailed fan survey via email, with questions on topics like whether I would attend a day-night Test, whether there should be tickets avilable for just two sessions, etc etc. You'd either have to be a big fan, or have absolutely nothing going on, to answer those sorts of questions.
The survey email came through on the same day that an international series was starting ... and yet there was no mention of the series in the email, and no separate email regarding the series kicking off, how to buy tickets, etc.
I find this sort of thing absolutely baffling.
