RE: Test Cricket : West Indies Shocks Australia

Amazing win. Reminds me of the match between the same 2 sides way back in 93 when Windies won by just a run- I was in the crowd that day!

Actually that was the one aspect of the game that was disappointing, there was hardly anyone there to watch it. What’s happened to crowds in Australia?

Would be great for the game if WI can rediscover some of their former threat but there have been so many false dawns in the past (Their victory against England in 2017 for example) that it’s difficult to believe it’s not just another flash in the pan.

Sort:  

Yes, I hope it's not just a flash in the pan but hopefully it's a spark at least.

Hard to say with the crowds. The first 2 days had 23K and 29K and then the crowd dropped off over the weekend. The first test against WI went for just over 2 days so people might have been wary of another flogging. Brisbane is often called the "Gabbatoir" because it's where many touring sides get annihilated.
