It’s Not Cricket

So what happened to United Arab Emirates 

cricket fans - the Dubai International Cricket 

Stadium seats 25,000 but there’s a few less

seats occupied than that; if you’d easily fit all 

of Essendon’s certifiable supporters vacantly 

into space left, there’d still be a slew’s room 

for cricketing devotees to pay for a privilege 

to be seen in that magnificent stadium 

Come to think of it - maybe that’s where the 

next AFL Grand Final should be; imagine if 

we got Melbourne’s mob to travel to Dubai; 

UAE’d get an obviously needed education - 

and they’d become profound AFL fans, and 

we’d get to watch cricket at our ground
