    Australian Cricket’s Governance/Development/Expectations/Future

    They're just trolling Cricket fans at this point. :laugh: They don't care about winning games of Cricket or the true health of the game, all they care about is their bottom line. I'd almost feel sorry for the folks for who bought tickets for this summer if they weren't such gullible fools.

    Yeah folks, keep telling yourselves its all just cyclical. :laugh:

    Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

    I was going to say with a home World Cup in less than 2 years this probably isn't the greatest way to prepare and give one of the host nations the best possible chance to win it but then I remembered this is Cricket Australia (:laugh:) whom seem to actually go out of their way to **** their...

    Australia A tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe

    Great stuff from the future bats :laugh: Don't worry everyone. Cricket Australia know what they're doing. This is just a "cycle" you know. Just imagine if the game was run poorly by inept administrators though. Scary thought that.

    Cricket World Cup 2015 Launch

    Shhhh not so loud. :laugh: People would rather believe they were moved not solely so the boards could try and cash in right now.

    Does anyone think Australia's situation is not actually that dire?

    It's funny, some people seem to think if they keep saying this that it will somehow magically become true all by itself. They seem to think nothing ever changes. Like Cricket is somehow always guaranteed to always have Australia.

    Australian Cricket’s Governance/Development/Expectations/Future

    Things are more dire right now, not just on the field but off it as well. Spear us the 80's BS, Cricket was in a far better position to recover back in those days than it is now. Do yourself a favour and don't kid yourself otherwise. Something tells me that history won't be repeating itself in...

    Cricket World Cup 2015 Launch

    Some of these group match ups were so predictable. Australia vs England of course; India vs Pakistan, got to make that money and to get more interest in New Zealand they've got to make certain there's a grudge match against the Aussies of course. :laugh: I love it how that game will also be in...

    Australian Cricket’s Governance/Development/Expectations/Future

    How uplifting. Great build up that will be for this summer of cricket, worst losing streak in 136 years and first ever 5 series whitewash, but come along anyway to see if we don't get whitewashed again! Come on, mate!!! Yes, 0-4 or 0-3 is much better. I'm sure 0-7 in 6 months won't do any damage...

    Australian Cricket’s Governance/Development/Expectations/Future

    This summer is going to be one giant step toward it that's for sure. What about 10-0 then, Max? The TV ratings dropped big time between the 1st and 2nd Tests, hopefully they continue to free fall. Does the loyalty run as deep as you think though? When it comes to Cricket I don't think so...

    Australian Cricket’s Governance/Development/Expectations/Future

    Cookies must be enabled. | The Australian Media really starting to turn the heat up on Cricket Australia and we're only 2 games into the money marathon. It's pretty amazing that Cricket Australia thinks it can get away with two pumping's by England in 6 months and somehow get away with it and...

    Does anyone think Australia's situation is not actually that dire?

    And what about when the Australia series which comes around in about 4 months? Will some "fight" be good enough in that one? I don't think most of those Australian fans who bought tickets which weren't cheap didn't get them to maybe see some "gritty performances". To say Cricket Australia have...

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    Even if it was, it definitely won't be in a generation. Cricket Australia has made it's agenda quite clear, 20/20 is their main focus going forward. They don't really care about the Test team, as they have shown by throwing it to the wolves with this scheduling they agreed to just so they can...

    They don't care how it affects that Test series nor the result of the series for that matter...

    They don't care how it affects that Test series nor the result of the series for that matter really. Winning games of Cricket or Test Cricket isn't their main goal, their bottom line is.

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    Some people are starting to see the light. What we are seeing is not some cycle, what we are seeing is a whole sport from top to bottom that has been neglected and allowed to decay for years. It's not about winning games of Cricket or what's best for Cricket's future, it's all about the all...
