In other words, you don't know, so will try to make up something about it would have evolved naturally (even though when being left to it's own devices the game was dying)

Almost all threads are calm and docile before marc and myself get involved.
That's sort of the whole point.

lol fair point, i wasnt complaining about it its good that we have some people who make the proceedings more intresting.

The GCC issue which pitted players rights to fulfill previously existing contractual obligations for the products they endorsed, against the ICC diktat to bind them to specific ones.

So of course I'm totally wrong to say that all sports have evolved naturally, aren't I?
If I was wrong, you'd have a point - given that I'm not, you don't.
There are a million moments in the game's history when you could think it was "dying a death" - something will always come-up to change that, it always does, with any large Global institution.
Multinational sports with 200 years and more of history do not just die a death.

Even though the game was losing spectators, and thus money, and the TV money wasn't there?

Whatever you say.

i was just wondering if anyone had anything to contribute for the issue mentioned in the thread?

Whatever you say.

And of course that's never happened ever before, has it? In any sport.

 

[marc71178]

What other sports has it happened in then?

 

[Richard]

Mainly football and rugby-union in this country.
All sorts of sports Worldwide, though, I'm told - and not surprisingly.
Sadly we might be in the situation with English cricket again in 2010.

 

[marc71178]

Erm, when was Football in this country dying a death?

 

[Richard]

You clearly didn't see that "the men who changed football" program a couple of years ago?
In the late 1980s football was as much dying a death as cricket supposedly was in the late '70s.
The men who changed it around didn't need to steal the best players to do it.
