thats the better word to say the least... the so called world cup will be held over a period of 50 days..with virtually 3 games for India in the next 30 days....its due to India cricket is alive..the day India become Zimbabwe...Cricket will vanish...
The actual fact is, cricket is shrinking. Take the World Cup 2011 (nay, 6-Nation Cup). Of the 14 nations, Zimbabwe, Canada, Netherlands, Kenya and Ireland just make up the numbers. In fact, teams like Canada and Netherlands contain lot of cricketers of Asian origin, which is now true of even the England team! Of the remaining nine participating nations, Bangladesh is the eternal punching bag of the big 6, while cricket is in terminal decline in New Zealand and West Indies. That leaves just SIX nations playing the game seriously. The first joke is they call it the World Cup and the next joke is they say `cricket is growing'. Really good joke. Everyone can have a good laugh!!!!

I have used the word `Asian origin'. Anyway, the emphasis is on 6-Nation Cup as opposed to World Cup. Probably you do not have anything to say about it and accept the truth for what it is!
