Its just not cricket

zelly888 — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 23:15:15 GMT

Only Australia matches are shown on free to air TV,so once in a blue moon we might get to watch a game played.

But then the second match is washed out due too rain.

And Australian cricket is wandering why no one is watching cricket anymore.

Well done ACB,this world cup is a joke because unless you are going to a game you have no hope of seeing it on TV.

I was expecting too see all the matches played on free to air because they are played in Australia.

As a cricket fan I will not be watching any cricket in the future thanks to the no show of matches played in Australia.

Yep, not good. V8 Supercars stolen by Murdoch too. I don't have the spare money to get pay tv and if I did have $750 a year to get it i'd probably go to three actual race meetings. Maybe the guys in charge of both these sports have made the double gamble of selling to Murdoch for a fortune and then more people going to see rather than get pay tv

Wait until the next world cup comes around. You won't have anyone to watch

Cricket World Cup must continue to embrace minnows

In a bizarre twist of ICC policy, the 2019 World Cup scheduled for England will be just a 10-team competition. The hosts plus the countries ranked two to eight in the one-day international rankings will get an automatic spot and the last two places will be decided in a qualifying tournament. It is possible that none of the associate or affiliate countries will contest the 2019 cup.

There are quite a few people who are not interested in sport at all.

Usually most watch-worthy channels are blocked by sports almost every day.

One with tennis, one with footy and one with cricket or soccer.

Often there is NOTHING else on tv than bleeping sport.

sick of it.

just have one channel dedicated to sport and stop clogging up the other channels.

Yeah, it is a bloody shame that Brisbane could not let the game start......

due to extreme and dangerous weather conditions...........

Not to worry, I bet the many hundreds of people cleaning up homes or looking for somewhere to stay today will take time out to complain to the TV stations.........and the weather bureau.

Glad that is all you had to worry about these last few days zelly.

cricket is as boring as watching rain drops falling on the ground.

it's not as if it was a real sport anyway. it's just an excuse to sit around in the early afternoon drinking beer.

I'll just quote you, zelly

Well what does a mother of nature tragic have to do with cricket?

and frrom the OP

But then the second match is washed out due too rain.

And where do you get off calling me a troll?

Re: Its just not cricket

zelly888 — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 08:42:43 GMT

A mother of nature tragic means a cyclone,damaging peoples property and lives,rain stopping a cricket match might damage peoples lives but not their property.

All you have done is tried to start trouble by going off topic so to me you are a troll.

My only contribution to this thread was "Didn't seem off-topic to me." - post #8

And that gets me labelled as a troll taking the thread off topic??????

To be fair,there's no way 9 is going to televise all the cricket.They wouldn't be able to squeeze in another screening of (yawn) Crocodile Dundee.

Yes you and greencat are trolls with a capital T,of course all trolls stick together and start trouble and give each other kudos to make you all look good to each other.
