Both of these meaningless ODIs rating well above any Big Bash game so far (1.7m for the second session - max of about 1.2m for BBL)
There's life in these old dog's legs yet.
Well, partly that's due to partisanship - more Aussie supporters than there are Thunder fans, for example.
Before I launch into this, a caveat: both bowling attacks in this series are rubbish.
That said, I found both ODIs boring as Captain Borey McBorington, Acting Commander of Boring Company of the Boringshire Borers.
I'm not talking about big hitting or all the circus that T20 provides. Its just that, with the flat decks, and no real bowling threat, the batsmen could just plod along until they reached 50, then maybe light up on the odd ball.
Now, I accept that T20 is all about the batsman; but ODIs are going the same way, with mishit edges going over the rope, and no seam on the ball to even provide a challenge.
