Cricket is on in the background, it’s not something I normally watch. What is going on with the grating annoying tooting horns? Is this new? How have these people not had beers poured on them and booed out of the stadium yet? I would go crazy seated anywhere near them.

It’s the Indian crowd. They also have drums and cymbals and stuff going. It can get grating but I’ve heard worse. They all sit together that’s why there’s no booing or beer pouring on heads. I’d rather a raucous crowd than a quiet please crowd like the tennis.

Yeah I’m with you.
Sometimes I get a bit bored with BBL because it can sound very dead at times because of the home and away teams.

You’re not wrong. The first innings of the cricket last night while Perth was batting was lively and boisterous. The second half of the was utter silence except for wickets. 41,200 people all with nothing much to say can be eerie.
There’s nothing like it. An AFL crowd always has a decent portion of opposition supporters. The Rugby State of Origin is almost 50/50. While I’m certain it wasn’t, BBL felt like it was 100% home crowd.

Yeah, the crowd excitement adds quite a bit of atmosphere to the games.
Maybe that’s also why I enjoy AFL so much.
I also tried to get a nap in today at the last 30 mins of the test match but woke up from it because all the excitement of the wickets falling.
So much for that nap.

Yeah you gotta make noise at the cricket same as the footy.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ah ok. I thought it might just be some random new trend.

Haha definitely not. The aussies get drunk and loud. The Indians try to match that.
