it was very sad n dis heartening to see the state of cricket in england n the rest of the world other than asia. if no steps r taken cricket will be a forgotten game . only ICC is responsible for this bad state of cricket. they n only they should take the blame for it. 1 the minnows shouldnt have been allowed to take part in a series like the champions trophy. only 8 teams should participate in champions trophy. 2 ICC should take steps to bring USA in cricket. USA can make a huge impact on the game with their power n money. once USAis in other countries will follow suit .
This article is so true. One of the Englishman works for me here in USA, i congratulated him on England's final berth at ICC..he was like.. "Really..i don't follow cricket anymore". Seems like other than India/Pak/Sri Lanka, the sport will lose its viewers everywhere else.
