I’m perfectly fine with watching BCCI make themselves look foolish. Obviously. Can you imagine a full house at Lord’s for SA vs NZ? Can you imagine a full house in Melbourne for BAN vs ENG? Or can you imagine a full house in Centurion for ENG vs AUS? Nowhere in the world would this happen. Not even 5000 people were there in the noon. That wouldn’t have happened anywhere. Again, noon in India or Sri Lanka is quite different from elsewhere. I’ve seen empty stands during big tournaments also. Considering they have holidays. Here, it’s a working day plus the heat in Ahmedabad. But still, it was the World Cup opener match. My opinion still stands. It’s exceptional. Imagine the India vs Pakistan match coming up. For Indians, it’s not just a sport, but a matter of nationalism.
