I’m surprised at the lack of interest in the Australia thread. This was such a massive deal, the odds of an Australia win were so low. And then they went and did it anyway!

Work is going to be so much fun!

I think it’s the loss of Cricket “season”. There’s so much cricket year-round that people no longer get that build up/6 month break cycle any more. The team is playing so well at the moment, and there just isn’t the interest there used to be.

I think it has to do with the fact that only Oz games were shown on fta. I watched all the games on foxtel that’s why I knew how exciting this game would be. Even the run up to it. When you take away something that’s normally free to people, they become disinterested.

I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.

Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!

I stayed and watched the whole thing. Very tired today.

I didn’t sleep well so I might as well have just stayed up and watched the entire thing.

Still glad I got to see the double century from Maxwell where he cramped up majorly. That was a match for the ages.
