"...
I was talking to a Cricket Australia official about crowds for Sydney Sixers matches and he made a great point. He told me many families attend one match a summer. In an eight-match season, that's four home matches to choose from. In a 14-match season, that's seven to choose from – it thins the crowd out.
...
There's simply not enough star power nor firepower in the teams. Heroes and villains make the world go around.
It’s not politically correct to say this, but Chris Gayle was the bomb in the Big Bash." |
This is the problem, of course. (The author states that his is one of those families.) The slogathon circus is aimed at the casual 'follower', who cares more about cartoon "heroes and villains" than about cricket or skill level.
Well... I'm now reminded of an amusing start to a game the other day. Some kid gets chosen to have his cap signed by a player, etc., before the game starts. George B. was signing, and the kid was quite sullen. The kid said he didn't go for the Hurricanes. Then the kid said he didn't like cricket. George was left trying to make the most of the situation and looking forward to being a national selector, when he'll only be torn apart by people unhappy with the national team. |

7/154 (20 overs). Renshaw 65, Sutherland 3/30.
Will be tough for the Heat to defend. That Lynn & de V only managed 20 runs between them was extremely disappointing for Heat fans.

At 3/68, the Heat were hopeful but Finch (63*) and Nabi (38*) were too good.
Mothballs for the Heat.
