Seems like the Australian cricket board already killed ODI cricket.
 
If there’s only 20k people turning up in a city of 9 million then it’s beyond shit attendance and is well into the realms of pathetically embarrassing.


So far this World Cup has been a disaster.

Ticket sales were delayed by months, so there’s almost no international fans. Indian fans aren’t turning up probably because of the same ticketing problems. The pitches have been terrible and there’s not been a single close match.

It’s almost as if the BCCI are trying to kill the 50 over game.
It’s packed. Has Swales come back from the dead?
