Did you know that no. of people who watched the World Cup Finals in South Africa is more than the combined Total of all the People who ever watched any game (baseball+Football+Hockey+Basketball)in USA in the entire history of those games.
^ err no..
Even if it is..Not the countries that count. :p
how much was it ??? I mean the viewership.
I agree but at the end of the day what matters is the purchasing power of the people who watch the game.Because that is what determines the money !!!
The point is there are more people who care about Cricket than than the combined total of people who care about Hockey,Football,Baseball, Basketball and any other game ever played by americans.
Ok Asif...I am sure people care about cricket deeply. But it is still boring. :p

Depends who is watching it. Yanks may find it boring.
Realistically, it's not boring but long.
The average person is unable to watch the game because he/she is working, school, other activities to attend.
The only reason the game has propelled so high in the sub continent is because of all the unemployed, beqaar people.
That's one of the reasons why Cricket is dieing in England, that and they don't put much concern over One Day Cricket. I can't wait for this shorter version of the One Day competition in England this summer.
