Guess what? The match was sold out and the stadium was full. Never heard that before during Boxing Day tests.

Re: Cricket Discussion Thread
Boxing Day test here is always full MCG on boxing day always gets a ton of people, this year it got 67,138 people in on day 1. SA/NZ in T20 only got a crowd of 13,885. Thats nearly 5 times the attendance for the test in just one day.

I was talking in context of South Africa  Reading comprehension, my dear boy.
About Boxing Tests vs Boxing Day T20 in SA.
Oh, and all the tickets were sold out for that T20 match. You cannot fill 65k people in a 15-20k stadium

Which team you bandwagon/follow in BBL?
Oh, and:
Tendulkar retires from ODIs and international T20s to prolong his test career. Sachin recognises the importance of the 5-day format, and thus wants to prolong his career in it.

That is his personal perspective. Makes sense because he grew up playing tests and ODIs and have not played T20 as much compared to those, which means he has not adapted well to T20 skillset. IN any case, that is irrelevant of what viewers and fans prefer.

Last Boxing day test in South Africa got a crowd of just over 13000 on the first day. Thats so much different than the t20 
oh and as you point out its a stadium with a 19000 capacity, so in what world is a bit under 14k a sell out?

So you're saying it's better to fill a 20k stadium than 60k in a larger stadium? Are you okay?

That's because sachin is a skillful cricketer and there's no skill in 20/20 it's just smashing every ball to the boundary. 20/20 is for cricketers that have no heart like Shaun Tait who can't handle bowling more than a few overs. Tests is a mans game and I believe playing 20/20 too much actually makes batsman and bowlers play worse. Because they don't need to worry about their technique, or concentrating or any of that shit that you need to do in tests. |
