*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2024 (white ball tour)

Furthermore, we don't post every single one of these...on average during a T20 innings, the most would be around 10 postings, if the stars align well enough.

It's not a high percentage.

International 12th Man
When Lance Cairns hit 6 sixes in an innings at the MCG against Australia in an ODI it entered folklore because that kind of power hitting was such a rarity. Nowadays somebody hits a 6 in the ‘hit and giggle’ slogfest that is T20 and the response is “meh”. Everybody is smashing 6’s, constantly, all the time. There is no longer any sense of awe around ‘power hitting’, and the expressions on the batsmens faces mirror the utter banality of T20 slogging. A 6 will be smashed, the batsman will continue to chew gum and look bored. Only the disingenuous commentary teams continue will the ADHD infused charade of acting like they’ve just witnessed something utterly extraordinary as the ball sails into the stands for the umpteenth time. T20 has a problem now: attention spans. Will endless monotonous slogging continue to hold peoples interest, or will the matchless drama that is test cricket make a timely resurgence as cricket loving people gravitate away from the mindnumbing slogfest dross.

Can't read too much into a 7 over match but I have feeling the soft middle order will be found out in a tournament again

How about just a smidgen of honesty? Too much to ask?
It's an advertisement. They want people to come watch. Do you think 'watch two over the hill sides scrap it out on (probably) terrible wickets' is a good pitch?

I know complaining about everything is your raison d'être though.

The much-reviled India test series promo just got another airing on Kayo, to the disgust of the entire nation. Give them another call @Skyliner
