Not a great wicket for T20. Can’t blast batsmen out but it’s difficult to force the pace.

Cricket used to dominate Australian summers, can the women's game put it back on top?
Overall registrations have dropped and cricket no longer owns our summer. But with the women's game forging ahead, it could be the ticket to getting back on top.

CA is responsible for managing and promoting the game. The obvious question is where did they go wrong?

As someone still playing the game into their 50's, my perception is that CA has failed cricket hopelessly over the last decade in this country.
Yep this was my reaction to that article as well, the game being in decline is largely due to CA itself.
Smith still had his pads on after the game
Still stunned by that catch that dismissed him, one of the best outfield catches i have seen.

For me, the scheduling of cricket has decimated interest. Cramming 5 tests in 6 weeks to have them done and dusted by January 7 or so means the rest of January (when we are at home ready to watch cricket) and February are free of test cricket. I assume this is to give the family friendly but ultimately dull BBL ”clean air”. There’s no meaningful ODIs any more, we rarely play international T20 here. The big name players can’t play BBL they’re off playing a meaningless ODI overseas somewhere. That’s my take anyway.
Bats in his sleep. [Notice no kids yetSmith still had his pads on after the game
]No matter how he gets out, Smith always seems to think he made a ridiculous, uncharacteristic error,; just hoping the umps recognise it was all a mistake so he can come back in and continue. Nothing to do with what the bowler or fielder may have done.
Strange guy. Personally never see him as captaincy material ever again. Just let him indulge his batting obsession; makes him happy (bloody good fieldsman too).
Yeh he oozes it. Marnus and Smith do it through sheer hard work, effort and bloody mindedness. Babar has that effortless elegance.
Yep waay too much cricket to sustain interest. I feared T20 would ultimately kill the game off once interest in the shiny new toy waned. It's all just so meaningless & forgettable. Too many teams, too many players, too many games.

This isn't China, you can't force people to show support for political causes they don't believe in. Not a de Kock fan but hope he sues CSA back to the Stone Age.
