They did propose night racing some time back...
Regarding the soccer... in Melbourne they're getting crowds of 50,000 but it falls short of being a TV ratings hit. As I said, Ch9 really are trying to reinvent the cricket coverage so that it appeals to juniors a little more.
The cricket is stuck in a 100 year time warp, IMO, and there's no easy way to make it appeal to those outside its core group - it attracts a certain type of supporter that not everyone relates to. Women hate the cricket. Motorsport? Well wherever there's fast cars there sure are some fast women!
