What's wrong in South Africa?

So you were referring to one day games? Didn't realise. Ours still aren't as well attended as they used to be, but there's usually an audience, if not a crowd.
I'm not even totally certain if such Corporate teams play one-dayers. One-dayers everywhere are better-attended than First-Class stuff.

But nah - I was just making the general point - roughly in agreeance with both you and myself - that First-Class domestic cricket isn't a spectator sport. I would, though, be interested to see a few crowd-numbers at domestic games in Pakistan and Sri Lanka - are they as desultory as the First-Class stuff?

I wouldn't bother even if they did. I find the idea of watching a corporate sports team distasteful.

Mind you, a great number of "local" sports teams worldwide are basically corporate, now that I think about it. But at least there's a vestige of locality about them.
