WTF!!! Cricket schedule not sustainable?

"Plus a days baseball in Newyork cost about 200 dollar compared to about 110 for a test match day in london."

You're talking about the 'best' seats watching the greatest team at one of the most iconic stadiums in Baseball.

I watched the Yankees and the Red Sox numerous times for no more than $20 a pop.

"Yet, MLB record like 80 million spectator per season?? 20 times Cricket worldover attracts?"

Brilliant. Well done Baseball. I hear Football gets more viewers than Cricket too. I guess we better stop watching Cricket then

It's probably tiring sitting in the pavilion for 2 and a half days out of five ( or 4 and a half days out of five if your name is sehwag) during a test match.

Yeah, people want to do as little as possible for as much money as possible these days.

I am getting older and notice that human beings are selfish impatient wimps these days.

Yes it must be pretty tough sitting in the stands eating salads & fruit reading the paper....I'm getting a sweat just thinking of it.....

^^

Let's not forget that there are 30 baseball teams in the US and Canada in the MLB, each playing 280 games, or whatever it is. that is probably more than the total number of proffesional cricket games across all formats in all countries.

We all know cricket is the better sport anyhow, americans will lap up anythng if the media tells them to, they elected george bush twice remember.

it's a shame baseball isn't on channel 5 anymore.

it was the ultimate insomnia cure at one in the morning.

Yeah I used to love the American they had in the studio. He really made it easy to follow and watch in the middle of the night!

i never used to follow it, i just put it on because it put me fall asleep sharpish

But aint baseball still in Britains national radios ,5 lives and extra?
Shame county cricket is not in American national radio.
Is it the result of American influence over Britain?

If a kid in South America throws a ball then 5 Live Extra is covering it
