Adam Gilchrist Makes a Huge Statement, “Dead rubber in Melbourne, IND vs ZIM, and there’s 82,000 people there”

Adam Gilchrist, the Australian legend, made a stark statement in regards to Australian fans not turning up for their team in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022. He hinted that Australian fans are not enticed by Australia’s performance in T20s, and this has probably been the reason why they did not turn up in great numbers at the games for Australia.

Here’s the full statement of Adam Gilchrist

“You’ve only got to look at the crowds; the crowds were down. There was no feeling of a huge excitement about this World Cup from the way crowds turned up to the Australian games. On the flip side of that, look at what was almost a dead rubber on Sunday night in Melbourne, Zimbabwe vs India, and there’s 82,000 people there. The Indian passion for the game continues to go to new levels. That’s something that’s really positive and exciting about cricket.”

He then added, “Whether those crowds being down and the appetite and enthusiasm for World Cup is reflective of the current team, I’ve got no idea. Any time Australia have hosted a World Cup, men’s or women’s, it’s always been at the end of the summer, so there’s a whole build-up and promotion of it and expectation for it.”
