Massive ratings for the Twenty20 Big Bash final

[coach]

The game played last Saturday night here in Sydney had 262,000 viewers. Easily the most watched Pay TV event of the week.

For me, that's sad. I hate the T20's. No substance whatsoever.

I think you will have to get used to it. I have no doubt that in the next twenty or thirty years Twenty20 will not only become the force in world cricket but also in sports generally.

I'm afraid so. I like to see the success of cricket in general, but I just can't bear the thought of someone like Warner being worshipped just because he can play a few baseball shots. The players themselves couldn't care less whether they won or lost.

Less than the other forms of the game. Certainly on an international level they couldn't give a sh*t.

Certainly they were happy, not prepared to deny that. But the fact it was an extremely close game coupled with the fact it was a T20 world cup final probably heightened the excitement.

As I said, the players care much more about ODI's and Tests. My issue against T20's is more a personal opinion than anything. I can't deny the game is growing.

In response to this

How are they related in any way? I said I couldn't bear the thought of players being considered as heroes because they are good at the T20 style of game.

what has happened to Baysarri's attackers btw?

Deflection.

LOL

it's funny because GTF can't see where he's missed it
