I hear it is also likely that the United Kingdom will boycot the games due to Australia considering becoming a Republic.

rajiv 25 Posted February 14 #105 Share Posted February 14 Reading over this topic reinforces my firm impression that Australia and Australians are not particularly liked by many on this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to build a wall on our Western border to keep the wallabies out, and we'll get the kiwis to pay for it. Go to a ski resort in Banff, Canmore, Kelowna or Kamloops and all you hear are Australian accents. Cafes there sell foreign atrocities like flat whites and "brekkie sandwitches" and you're liable to have a conversation about how Australia beat India in the Cricket world cup on the chairlift (I really did have a conversation about the last Cricket world cup final with someone from Brisbane on a chairlift in Kelowna two weeks ago xD ) ...more seriously I'm not sure where you see animosity towards Australian here.

Also, it's likely to be 8 team tournament from expected 6 in 2028. Also iconic stadiums are in nearby Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney. Additionally, Australia tourism target Indian tourists by promoting cricket tournaments. Olympics Cricket tournament shall boost tourism from India as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the organizing committee knows best in terms of scheduling and logistics but Indian fans would love to watch in these stadiums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
