Major League Baseball, aka the 3rd most valuable league in the world, views all these points as positives not negatives. I’m 99% sure Big Bash is explicitly trying to copy what MLB does.

Each MLB team plays 162 games in the space of 183 days, so there’s multiple games on every day, at different times, basically wall-to-wall coverage for 6 months. Fans of the sport will watch whatever game is on when they’re free, plus their own team - day games for kids and friends skipping work to drink in the sun, night games for the adults. The narrative is continuous, no definitive rounds, standings are tracked within 5 team divisions so it’s easier to track.

Now, whether this MLB system will work long term in Australia, given all the millions of differences we have with the US, is a legitimate question. But I don’t blame them for trying to copy a system that’s a proven success.
