The Surry Hills Times has managed to track down the solitary individual who watched the one-day series last night.
Last night’s TV ratings are out and the Surry Hills Times has tracked down the one person who watched the one day-series in England.
This magnificent specimen and true cricket tragic, Rob Courtney, watched every ball with gusto.
“I’m not going to lie, it was painful going, but I had to be there for the boys. I know they would have appreciated it. They needed me.”
One hates to imagine how the Australian cricket team would have performed without Courtney’s supporting eyeballs as the hapless Aussies were once again beaten by England.
Meanwhile the rest of Australia feasted on a magnificent night of sport that included the State of Origin and the World Cup.
Naturally there were some of the intelligentsia not swayed by the intoxicating skill of sport but rather heady philosophical debate.
Those few chose to watch Love Island, naturally.
Yet one man remained loyal to the sport he loves.
We asked, “Will you be watching the next time the boys strap on the pads?”
Courtney’s reply was swift, “God no they’re a bunch of losers. Enough’s enough. I have to get on with my life.”
The Australian cricket team has slumped to a 5-0 loss in a one-day series with absolutely no hope insight.
Incidentally, the Wallabies game on Saturday night attracted a viewership of 50,000 current and ex private school boys predominately from the Eastern suburbs of Sydney.
