Many people haven't forgiven the sandpapergate incident also the departure of Justin Langer plus a lot of folk are just tired of cricket. There seems to have been a glut of cricket matches over quite a long period. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too expensive and a rapidly falling interest in cricket. Mid summer and everybody i talk to here is discussing the coming football season (not soccer of course).

GrandpaGrumble 152 Posted December 27, 2022 According to Wikipedia, attendance on Boxing Day was 64,876 which is about the average since the regular Boxing Day tests started in 1980, and about the average when playing against SA. The G has never been completely full for a cricket match, closest being 91,112 against England in 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day_Test#List_of_Boxing_Day_Test_matches 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
