Re: [Match Thread] Zimbabwe v West Indies HSC
I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again Chisoro needs to bat ahead of cremer
Indian and English cricket is a cult and bazball is delusional and embarrassing. Bumrah chucks it, Cummins has a shocking seam position, stokes is a fraud. Bangladesh shouldn’t have test status, Bradman was a coat.Marco Jansen is good, zim will rise !

Lovely little glide for four from Chisoro!

Looks so much better having embankments and areas where the families have a little picnic, think I saw a braai section yesterday. It's just so much better.
This is why theres a stadium vs suburban ground debate in the NRL. They have tried to appease this by having a combo of both, however the atmosphere of Belmore oval (with its carnival,hills and locals) as well as the history of somewhere like Leichardt oval is hard to beat.
AFL are the worst at this rationalisation, however there is some sense to it due to the geography of Melbourne where most teams are and the one team cities of the others.
That said, the comfort and luxury of the bigger stadiums is something that is very appealing to alot of people.
Aussie sport tries to emulate the uber professionalism of US sports whilst keeping its aussie flair.

I hate how AFL controls everything. It's hard to compare to the US though because they have so many stadiums they could easily find a stadium to suit.ZIMDOGGY wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:03 amWhats your winter sport?zimbos_05 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 10:28 amSlightly off topic, but can I just say that I hate how Australian stadiums are so commercialised with all that seating.

The thing is also that most people have grown up with these bigger seated stadiums. They know no different. Plus, organisations want to cram in as many people as they can in to a ground to maximise revenue.

After seeing Holders spell, you have to think that it's not so much the pitch, its the line and length. If our guys can get their line and length right, it does not matter if they are spin or pace.
