Once India,South Africa and Pakisthan out of the tournament,TRP rating are almost zero.Australians and Kiwi people have better game to watch like Hockey,Rugby football etc etc
Unless ICC guarantee at least semi final birth for India, the tornament cannot be huge success. With India failing in major tournaments, the tournament also fails.
1st T20- world cup was hit bcoz not only india reached final but also it won. 2nd T20 did not generated tat much hype bcoz India got eliminated early.
Many in the Cricketing world know how to make thousands of crores of rupees in the name of cricket without doing anything in life. Lalit Modi, Ravi Shastri and many like them are greedy and they are making different formats for just one game on daily basis and making crores of rupees from tournaments spanning all 365 days in a calendar year. Test Cricket, One Day Cricket, Twenty-Twenty, Club Cricket, IPL, World Cups, Tri-series, Champions League, it goes on for ever. Lalit Modi even suggested conducting IPL matches twice in a year. All other cricketing countries support this because the stupid and ignorant Indian public is feeding them as well. TV channels are running after all these events and making crores out of it. For many Indian Women, running after these cricketers naked with Pepsi in hand is freedom. This is one side of the story. On the other side, PT Usha, a legend, cries in front of the camera for not providing reasonable attention and accommodation. What the bloody government of India is doing? I emphatically say Government must control these cricketing events with immediate effect and must limit only one cricket format say twenty-twenty and the cricketing body must be asked to conduct only one tournament in a calendar year and TV channels must be stopped from telecasting all other cricketing events other than this allotted tournament. Indians must be allowed come out of laziness and Pepsi culture and to work hard so as to make our country prosperous.
how this can be a huge success....?? do one thing....schedule 5 matches of india vs pakistan and schedule a whole champ trophy...and count the revenue through seat collection....see the big difference then....ind vs pak match has more trp and have more revuenue.....

its just to creat hype that cricket is loved by all people across all countries ....
T20 is making a complete mockery of a game, it is turning out to be ridiculous spectacle. There is hardly any strategy, skill involved any more... 50 overs I pray remains as the major format for limited overs....make a few tweaks to address the weaknesses.
Champ trophy was total failure. Pl. look again the video shooting. The stands were only filled 20-25% and for Semis 50%. How can ICC claim to be a great success??
there's a war being fought by opponents and proponents of ODI format. but people like ICC/ BCCI are only interested in making money - so they want all possible formats.
