Big Bash League sees big crowds

The Big Bash League is relatively new to the scene, having been established in 2011. But it has surpassed the wildest expectations of the organizers. A clash between the Melbourne Stars and Renegades drew a crowd of 80,000. The organizers only managed to get 50,000 in the stadium in time with 30,000 fans attempting to trickle in as the game began. "That's flattering, given that the competition is only five years' old, to be in the company of some of those really established sports leagues,”

Big Bash manager Anthony Everard said. "Having said that it's obviously not really our focus. Our focus is on our own backyard and making sure we continue to appeal to kids and families. That is as satisfying to us as perhaps some of those big numbers on a global scale.”
The Big Bash League has 8 teams currently.
