This is not such a bad idea. Some people seem to forget that Cricket is the most abbreviated sport. There is Test, 50 overs and 20 overs cricket. The 20 over format is the most popular casting doubt over the viability of the 50 over format, with the traditionalists keeping the Test match format alive. Network TEN briefly dallied with High Stakes Hoops which was a modified game of basketball, before they began broadcasting the NBL in 2009 it was on ONE HD. So this is nothing knew if it works great if not than it will calapse.
What’s next Bowls with one person, one ball and half a jack?
Where will this fit in with the Aus Open? Or does that not start until later?
NRL with 20 minute halves, AFL with 10 minute quarters…
There’s an idea in that somewhere!
Is the finishing time for this predictable, or will it be like regular Tennis which goes however long?
Id probably watch Bathurst 100 and Tee Three Golf, it is all bout getting people that generally don’t watch tennis introduced to the sport, so no not a waste of time..
Surely a waste of time.
Also coming soon – Tee-Three Golf and the Bathurst 100.
