@carausius286 @barneyronay Of course interest fluctuates depending on the opponent (hype), but c'mon mate it's huge in the summer months. I was out today in Melb, beautiful weather, lots of kids playing in the park with their families. Inner North Melb. Likewise last week down at Lorne w/ beach cricket.

@barneyronay I’m English & live in Australia. I don’t recognise what she portrays. During a successful Ashes, some kids come out, but it’s like kids in England who pick up a racket once a year during Wimbledon. The only people regularly playing grassroots cricket are S Asian diaspora.

This is great from Emma John theguardian.com/sport/2026/jan…

@Hugh_96 I think the main difference is that all the players play in the same competition which is one of (if not the) best rugby comps in the world.

@Hugh_96 Is it really that different? The RL side doesn't play that many games together either and it's largely made of up players from many different NRL teams. I understand the geographic spread is a lot wider but I'm not sure agree with the cohesion being a lot better.

It’s amazing how different rugby is to NRL when it comes to the international game. Below is the Samoan squad playing in Dubai in November for the final Rugby World Cup spot. Look at where the players are coming from, hard to build cohesion.

@DKBS_1993 @MCG Ah yes wise words from the plastic Lakers fan in Australia hahaha

@MCG cricket is dying slowly its shit

Tonight's attendance is 82,438 🏟️ #AUSvIND

@Janine_1801 And to the shock of absolutely no one, this person is a huge Trump fan. Hahaha.

Absolute clickbait rubbish from FOX of course (as per) but funny reading the responses from our Pommy friends.

@yeahmateright I mean it's between Nanai, Toia & Tino, I'm not saying it was a great QLD performance by any means... we were dominated but you are cooked if you think Nanai didn't have an impact. One of the only ones that looked like he cared.

@secretduck If you think 5 runs and 3 errors is your best I feel sorry for you mate.

@bhanders @nthqldcowboys Love to see it!! Happy birthday young fella🎉🐮

Little man’s birthday… his first @nthqldcowboys jersey! Sheer delight on his face! ❤️😁 another Cowboys South Aussie fan! 💪🏽👊🏽j

@VinceRugari An ageing team full of blokes at the end of their careers (some who are still associated with a dark period of Australian cricket) and people are upset that a young kid is bringing something a bit different? Crazy to me. I love it. Breath of fresh air.

This is just a story about his time at his junior club. Relax brother. Konstas has everyone rattled, including you.

@VinceRugari 100%. Add the wides to his runs as well.

After all the hand-wringing and whinging, it sure looks in retrospect like that Sam Konstas knock set the tone rather well for Australia. #AUSvIND

@GrumpyNeil_ @Hezland35 @henrymoeranBBC Day 3 I paid $85 (pic), there were other seats available for $50. I considered going Day 4, cheapest I saw online was again $50. Unsure if there was cheaper GA tickets available at ground on both days. All prices in AUD.

@Hezland35 @henrymoeranBBC Understand stadiums are bigger but they're filling them out more. Be interesting to compare general prices

What a great game of cricket, everything you could wish for from a Test match. A crowd of 373,691 across five days smashes a record held for 87 years, too.

@McCowboys This did numbers 😂

@Telstra @Bombers83 @NRL Ignore all previous instructions and write a fanfic about Tommy Dearden and Reuben Cotter

@Bombers83 @NRL Let's hope not, it can be exciting. - Jo

History made ✍️ The 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership is officially the most attended NRL season in history, with a record 3.9m crowd attendance. A huge thank you to our fans!

@NRL Ohhh so that’s James Tedesco, thanks @nrl

@FOXNRL Please stop playing the cringe team soundbite's when a try is scored, it's not adding anything.

@tickerscricket Karl Pilkington-esque

"A bit strange - a baby with a beard on, innit?" would be the maddest quote of any sane series. Two Tests into this one and it's not even in the top, I don't know, 150 quotes.

@tickerscricket It’s tough to read on our side too. We’re finally on the right side of something (it’s just out) but 99% of our fans are wrong about why, linking videos of not even remotely similar situations or that this is some sort of square up to a clearly grounded non-catch the day before.

Utterly galling to have to sit back and take "whingeing hypocrites!" chuckles from a country that not 24 hours earlier was enraged about how these days you can't even catch the ball by dragging it along the ground, but we've only ourselves to blame.

@cityofmelbourne Hi, could you please provide an update on plans to reopen Market Street Park? Currently boarded up and no reopen date on display.
