A mate told me... Well, a friend. Okay, he supports the eGulls. I hate him. Anyway, he told me that the Cricket Australia bloke who signed up Foxtel was sacked due to the lack of eyeballs on the cricket broadcast and the lack of bums on the seats following the first Optus Stadium one day game here in Perth.
Seems Cricket Australia want all of Australia watching their games and lots of us walking through the gates. Unfortunately, they have employed idiots who have no idea how to achieve that.
How long is the Foxtel contract? Three or five years?
