Yes

LA ICE-E · 23-04-2007, 09:20 PM

yeah. but this world cup will hurt that somewhat. Although the next one should bring it right back up, and may be even more.

Yup, we all know cricket is one of the most watched sports in world atm and WC is one tournament that always generates huge viewership, so nothing suprising in that.

Pasag, just spare a thought for FILOCRICKET mate, its only his first day at CW.

So we shouldn't be so critical about his spellings.

Can tell he's a QLDer huh..

I didn't know the exact figures, but yeah it's a pretty important event..

Wese did indeed know.

A pretty disappointing world cup and not really worth viewing tbh. Lets hope for closer last two matches. It will be interesting to see how the Twenty20 world cup will go later on this year. It should provide closer contests but probably lesser showing of true cricket skills.

Yeah it's a good moneyspinner alright.. Certainly all of the relevant stakeholders will be royally catered for in this global, two month long celebration of cricket..
