I’m surprised at the lack of interest in the Australia thread. This was such a massive deal, the odds of an Australia win were so low. And then they went and did it anyway!
Work is going to be so much fun!
I think it’s the loss of Cricket “season”. There’s so much cricket year-round that people no longer get that build up/6 month break cycle any more. The team is playing so well at the moment, and there just isn’t the interest there used to be.
I think it has to do with the fact that only Oz games were shown on fta. I watched all the games on foxtel that’s why I knew how exciting this game would be. Even the run up to it. When you take away something that’s normally free to people, they become disinterested.
Yeah 50 overs each is a long match. That’s why I like BBL. 20 overs each. Night games. Players get mic-ed up and just go out there, have fun and slog them for six for charity. A really good atmosphere.
We won. Australia won The Cricket World Cup 2023. 🏆🎉💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛🇦🇺

I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.
Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!
I stayed and watched the whole thing. Very tired today.
I too stayed and watched the whole thing. First time watching cricket. Getting up now.
Wow. What did you think of it? Will you be watching more of it in future?
Yes but not WATCH watch because it lasts way too long. More like something I’ll have on while I do stuff.

I didn’t sleep well so I might as well have just stayed up and watched the entire thing.
Still glad I got to see the double century from Maxwell where he cramped up majorly. That was a match for the ages.
