PURA CUP A FAILURE

Who watches this boring, shitty competition??
It brings no joy to anybody. The players are overpaid for the crowds they get.

Overpaid?

I'd wager you wouldn't even know what they earn or what 9 pays for the rights. Also, what does ING pay to sponsor it?

Last year the better players were on about $70K or $80K, not sure if they are all on that type of money.

I dont really understand where your coming from Balmainbenny, I'd love to be able to watch the best junior cricketers in the country, if I lived a bit closer to hte GABBA, (its worth the drive for a test match tho).

I know that they will never show it on TV, although I seem to remmember watching some sessions a long time ago (about 20 years or so).

If they just showed an afternnon sessions of the match of the round, of ever late night highlights, I reckon they would get a good ratings.

Theye did show select games on pay TV a while back, before that station went bust.

C7 used to do a lot of coverage on it. FOX has the rights but doesn't show it.

If they have the god damm rights why dont they show it. I mean at least one game a week wouldnt hurt, even the final.

Because the domestic crowds of 200 lead them to believe it wouldn't be a ratings winner. I emailed them shortly after C7 went bust, they confirmed they had the rights but they'd decided against showing it.

But if its in the local area, then it shouldnt be shown. But it should be shown outside, like the cricket coverage on Channel 9. C'mon at least the final should be shown.
