Default CH9 are Jokes.

I know not everyone likes cricket, however ACA taking precidence. When will Ch9 pull their heads away from their own behinds (they seem to involve themselves in a bit of self love) and move/delete ACA for one night so that we don't miss any of the cricket. I remember channels use to move the news to accomodate the innings break over the summer.

Not acceptable.

ACA is an integral part of australian culture. I don't know about you guys, but I just couldn't imagine life without it. It's not as if cricket is a big sport over here anyway

1 over... 3 mins, i was spewing! your dead set joking, the first series of this calibre and they do that to us. i was crying!

just to add, glad aussies won, to put a team like that down is pretty good, especially when you hear comments from the commentators that go somethign like..

" now the captain of the world 11 has a few options, vettori still has 4 overs, kallis 3, murali 4, aktar 2, flintoff 4, pollock still has 3.... hate to be facing that..

or when u get a wicket, yay we got rid of kallis... damn lara.... yay we got lara... damn some other freak, then batting 8-9 flintoff and pollock... just after you dismantled the top 6 batsmen out of the top 12 or whatever... you still get that in the tail...

awesome, cant wait for the next two, then the super test! 6 days of grace...

wonder if anyone else likes cricket as much as me lol

Mates and I threw beer cans a many at the tv when they cut out the last over of the aussie innings. 12 run demolishment by Brett Lee of what I think was Pollock, spose I'll never really know. Get better channel 9.

I can cop the half hour lost to ACA but I was astonished when with one over to go, they switched to the news. It wasnt Pollock it was Flintoff getting smashed which would have been great to see, if only..................

We didn't get ACA up here.

Local news followed by National, then back to the cricket, which was 1/29 when we came back I think.

ACA - A Current Affair. A fair and honest news show. Similar to Today Tonight.
