I like it because its a chance to see the Aussie team in action. With no Olympics participation its the WBC and World Cup and that's about it.

I am absolutely baffled by this attitude. Baseball is never a waste of time, and - at least to me - is always more enjoyable to watch than any other sport, being played at any other level. Sorry, but this just reminds me so much of the general snobbishness of the people who don't believe that any real Baseball has been played since (fill in the date, 1947, 1961, 1993, whatever) or that any modern Baseball memorabilia is worth collecting. If someone doesn't want to watch it - fine. I've never sat and watched an entire basketball game in my 58 years of life, but I don't "hope" that no one ever gets to watch it again because I don't appreciate it.
