In regards to BBL cricket though, the article quotes “CA are pleased with BBL ratings”, so were they expecting even lower than 300-400k metro? Because it’s still miles and miles off 10’s 1m+ metro days! ---

Why do Seven commentators keep on referring to this as “Saturday morning”. It’s hardly the morning - currently 3:50pm in Adelaide. I guess it’s so they can differentiate between the three sessions - morning, afternoon and evening. ---

> [@parano1a](#): > > Would CA agree to move tomorrow’s Big Bash game from 11am to 7pm at late notice? I think it would be logistically too hard. For a start, fans who bought tickets for the game supposed to be at 11am may not be able to attend at 7pm if they have other commitments in the evening. ---
