Day 1 on a thursday before school holidays start, a week before everyone has to take leave for christmas + little to no marketing by cricket aus VS the public holiday most synonymous with cricket (arguably sport) in this country 🤔
Couple this with the first two days are when most people are still working before Xmas, local cricket still being played on Day 3 and the game being over on Day 4 in any sort of competitive way… not sure any city in the country would be doing much better.
