2013 Ryobi Cup Draw

[RugbyReg]

Hi all,

anyone seen the draw for the domestic 1 day series for this year? Every game (barring the final I think) is in Sydney.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty pissed off, but perhaps I need a reality check. At least its live on GEM now, with the infrastructure upgrades to two facilities to enable the broadcast (many grounds not available now due to AFL season) probably provides more opportunities to showcase the tournament.

Still pissed I can't take my boys to watch the Bulls play though.

That's weird. Would give NSW the home ground advantage in every game..

Regardless, I'm not really bothered. It is more likely that I will watch it on GEM than go to the Gabba anyway.

Go the Bulls!

This is a clear indication that domestic one day cricket is well and truly the lowest priority of the three forms of the game.

I think they've come up with a way of getting it played as cheaply and as quickly as possible.

It will be interesting to see how it works out and whether they persist with the idea.

Talk about awkward.

Chris Lynn (who was mic'ed up) chose a bad time to tell the commentators that his girlfriend was sitting in the crowd watching the game.

^ So that video has now gone viral. Huffington Post and some UK tabloids have picked it up.

It's up to almost 900k hits and rising rapidly.

Poor girl. I doubt she'll be heading to the cricket to support Chris Lynn anytime soon.
