With the amount of hype driving the (sensible) preparations, should it not really eventuate you would not want another one for a very long time as complacency from the current event would be a huge issue

Just casually tried to reconfigure my whole Plex server setup while procrastinating putting my luggage in the ride to the airport

Upset that someone finally had the guts to challenge some of the narrative and it wasn’t a “journalist”? On one had we have media orgs asking for handouts from us and on the other they don’t really provide anything other than puff pieces full of opinion. Somebody has to hold (all of) them to account

Sheesh could be tough going then. I have no skin in the game so not fussed either way who wins or not but setting up that ahead of your next match doesn’t seem like a good long term plan. Australians love to have a villain!

Yeah totally agree. I think next match for her will be even tougher in terms of having the crowd on side. Wouldn’t be surprised if they put it on the smallest of the main courts

But I already have it!

Agree school holidays is the best time for crowds, but domestic cricket isn’t moving the needle in terms of TV rights (perhaps online betting tops that up). Have been involved in high level cricket and seen the scheduling take into account super rugby starting more than anything else

Must be why they usually schedule them so late in the summer - hoping for the rain
