Indian sub-continent sans cricket
What would happen if the game of cricket would again be restricted to the good ol’ white countries?
Media houses in the INDIAN SUB CONTINENT will run out of ‘news’.
Vetti journos would lose jobs.
Actresses would choose less dumb boy friends.
Players will not make the kind of money they do. If you don’t exist, you can’t make money.
We will not have cricket boards, hence no question of ‘the richest cricket board’.
Cricket will be restricted to the home backyards, where hopefully it is not ’spot fixed’ and hence it is in it’s purest form.
Cricket will be forgotten in due course (the world will not end because of this).
People will grow up and move on to much more important things. Which is not bad at all.
Knowing full well the true titans of the game from the INDIAN SUB-continent countries, and with due respects to their achievements, after considering all the pros and cons, I think net-net, it would only be good for everyone, especially the sub-continent countries if they stop patronizing cricket.

You’ve forgotten something.
1. good ol’ white countries will not have anyone to sledge against.
2. umpires from good ol’ white countries (read Darrell Hair) will not have anyone to no-ball.
3. Players from good o’ white countries will be restricted to playing county cricket. Maybe they will join the Chennai 600028 Sharks team as an alternative.
4. Commentators like Ian Healy & Bill Lawry will finally get tired of praising their players and not anyone from the subcontinent.

Media, politicians have milked cricket to the core. Big stars have profited enormously…all at the expense of the gullible auto rickshaw driver who will watch cricket match from road side even sacrificing his ’savaari’…
