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.

    I saw a Japan v. Australia World Cup qualifier match at the MCG and I don’t remember even that crowd being so one-sided as a BBL game.
    
    I wonder whether this is something the league can work on? Maybe have better crowd coordination of the “away” supporters sitting together?
