they are always full for the forms of cricket that people there care about.Because, for a supposedly mad cricketing nation, why are the stadiums never full, always half empty?
The average indian priced out of it?
Add in the fact that a half full Eden Gardens is still bigger than any ground in England then the crowds there have been good.The crowds in Kolkata are fine. The one city in India you can't criticise for poor attendance imo.
They're starting at 9am in Kolkata, that's ****ing early. Afternoon crowds have been okay.
The delirious roar of the crowd when the Indian batsmen run an easy single is one of the great wonders of cricket.Because we all know the louder they are the bigger fans of cricket they are.
Especially so when Gambhir's batting, think the cheer is more to do with him not running anybody out!The delirious roar of the crowd when the Indian batsmen run an easy single is one of the great wonders of cricket.
Compare to in England. If England are getting stuffed the crowd will ironically cheer every last run. Knowing we're going to lose.The delirious roar of the crowd when the Indian batsmen run an easy single is one of the great wonders of cricket.
