When Did You Stop Watching Cricket?

[Athlai]

Do we have any long term members that haven't watched a game in years?

With the T20 world cup over, I won't watch a match till our next Test series.

 

[Burgey]

There’s a fair few whose views on the game would make one think they’ve never watched it at all tbh

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Honestly haven't watched a game since the 2015 final.

Not even the 2019 final? Or the World Test championship?

 

[Coronis]

2019 Ashes, I doubt I’ll bother watching more matches, I’ve already witnessed the peak of batting and bowling.

What DVD were you watching while the Ashes were on?

Nope, basically since my kids were born I don't really have the time to sit down and watch a stream. Caught the highlights though.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I've not watched a single game since England won the 2022 T20 World Cup.

There hasn’t been any cricket since the 20/21 BG trophy

I stopped watching after the 2015 WC until SA Vs Australia in 2018. Joined shortly after that. Got back into it because I was procrastinating before exams.

When I was a kid and all the coverage we got from Australia was the last session of radio commentary with a crackly line we longed for the day when it would be broadcast ball by ball on TV. By 1990 when it finally happened we set our alarms for the last two hours. It seemed deeply ironic at the time.

About 2 hours ago when Australia hit the winning runs.

Stopped watching Indian cricket post 1999 and hardly supported India during the dark years between 98 and 2001 and the peak of the fixing era. Ganguly's captaincy got me back hooked.

Dont think I ever gave up on watching all cricket though. Even in that period, I was a big fan of RSA and Pak, and to an extent, NZ.

What DVD were you watching while the Ashes were on?

Saw peak bowling in Johnson’s Ashes, saw peak batting in Smith’s Ashes.

Don't watch nearly as much as I used to.
Growing up in the 80's, Border was my hero, never missed a days cricket, as the the years go by and I get older I watch less. Since Laxman retired, another favourite, I watch less cricket (might watch 10-15 min, then go do something else)
Never really been a fan of LO cricket, will watch it, but no care factor for me.
Used to go to the WACA a lot (live in Perth), haven't been to a domestic or international match here since around 2008.
I've watched more County Cricket (which I love) on my visits to the UK since 1989 (over 100 FC matches) then cricket in Australia.

You're that one guy and his dog aren't you

Pretty much every time Tendulkar got out up until NatWest trophy final in 2002.

 

[Gob]

For a while after Hughes passed away.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I usually turned off for about five hours when Kallis came in to bat.

If it was played in England, 30 minutes are more than enough
