Much sadder than it should have been, I'm afraid. The woman's side had a degenerative disease called Leigh's disease which neither the father or son to assumed parents shared. Second son, who my uncle assumed was his, exhibited symptoms and died at 7 after finally wasting away. My uncle wasn't a carrier tho, so mother had fucked around. He wasn't aware til he tried to have kids with his second wife and asked the consultant to check for the chance of Leigh's disease with future kids.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/big-bash-league-2015-16/content/story/957451.html?CMP=chrome
>As cricket's footprint on the Australian summer grows in unprecedented fashion, the Cricket Australia's chief executive James Sutherland insists that the burgeoning Big Bash League is acting as a complementary, not competing, agent to the traditional Test summer.
>When combined with uniformly strong television audiences, including a groundbreaking 372,000 average for the curtain-raising WBBL match at the MCG ahead of the Stars' BBL defeat of the Renegades, the game's hold over the first week of 2016 in Australia is complete. Talk of the MCG crowd as transformational is understandable, but it should also be combined with concurrent attendances in other parts of the country.
>While it has been suggested more than once that the BBL is detracting from Tests, Sutherland told ESPNcricinfo that the tournament was always intended to complement the five-day game - and that it had given Cricket Australia the ability to draw crowds across the country in ways previously unheard of during the international programme.
>"One of the things that people forget from time to time is the thing the BBL has allowed us to do, [it has] allowed us to provide cricket content in other parts of Australia during the Test cricket season," Sutherland said. "Right now we're playing in other parts of the country and people are watching the cricket during the day [on TV] then saying 'Let's go and watch a Big Bash League game'.
>The contrast with the previous instance in which the struggling West Indies team were a part of the summer Test schedule is stark. In 2009-10, international matches were watched by the poorest crowds and slimmest television audiences in some years, and CA ran at a considerable loss for the season, cutting into cash reserves.

Cricket's been progressive in adopting t20, but dumping a format that will still make money - at least internationally - will take another decade
>>64637974
Yeah you didn't actually watch the CWC, either that or you're deluded as fuck.
There was 2 months of games and it was fucking atrocious. The only thing that made it bearable was the /cric/ banter.
With the sole exceptions of AUSvNZ(group) and NZvSA and a couple of the associate games, EVERY SINGLE game was trash.
The CWC was an advert for WHY ODI cricket is finished.
>>64637585
>>64637669
This would be my plan for world griget
Have a tier-based league for tests that goes on 4 years, with each team playing an equivalent amount of home and away games against the same opposition. 6 teams a tier, with Associate nations games also being counted.
For ODIs, have the same format as international football where there can be a few friendlies each year, but the main tournament is the World Cup and other regional tournaments like the Asia Cup - NOTHING ELSE.
T20s - scrap the World T20 completely and put it in the Olympics. Instead, start a multinational league with salary caps that has clubs instead of teams, with clubs all over the main test playing nations. Can also have a few throwaway International T20s to balance the costs of tests in a bilateral tour.
Obviously this is not going to happen because broadcasters love the 8 hour long shekels ODIs bring, which is literally the only thing stopping it from being on pooicide watch.
>>64638085
tier based leagues for test cricket is a pretty bad idea tbqh and you'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel to make two, let alone three

incorrect, there was a number of great games and the tournament as a whole was better than anything I have seen from T20

>The official attendance figure for the first day of this match was 20,195. More than half of those are estimated to have travelled from England, escaping the depressing UK winter and taking the chance to soak up the sun and cheap beer at one of the world’s most stunning grounds.
Everyone knows that test cricket is fine in England (though it is going backwards). It's everywhere else that is the problem.
Also how is it damage control? The guy is completely right. Test cricket is fucked globally. Only in England and Australia is it not on suicide watch

ticket and food prices are unironically part of what is killing attendance.
the most ridiculous thing about the ticket prices is it's such a small percentage of revenue for cricket boards these days - they could literally charge about 20% of what they do and there would be no significant difference to the bottom line of CA, ECB, etc.
I usually go to the cricket every year with my dad, but it's too much now. We're going the darts instead, cheaper beer.
i like watching test cricket but i couldnt sit there all day. 3 hrs is perfect for casuals like me to attend
>>64638513
the problem is, in the case of both Australia and England the counties/states get the proceeds from the gate
That's why the prices are jacked up so high

>>64638513
At least in England, the Test venues have to bid to provide a certain amount of revenue for the ECB. That's why Yorkshire & Lancashire, which are 75% of club cricket, didn't have an Ashes Test last time.

Are the Braithwaite brothers related to Daryl Braithwaite?
Bit harsh for the commentators to be criticising the Windies for slow run rate. It's a bit of a catch 22 for them at the moment. If they try to score quickly, they'll get out and be criticised for throwing away their wickets. But if they buckle down and actually value their wickets they're "not scoring quick enough" and "letting the bowlers dictate terms".
