As an Indian I dont see anything to be sad , forget weep !!.
If an Indian spectator is not interested in any match not involving India in a meaningless tourny ( 6months before the WC) how can BCCI be blamed for it .
Have an India vs [ country] ...you have huge crowds test/odi .
I think it is but natural.
Also , things are changing quick and fast in India .I would not imagine myself sitting through a Aus-Eng match forfitting my work.I might have done the same say 5 years ago ..but not anymore .The middle class in India right now cannot afford to leave office for a match that does not involve India .Also they have a choice in terms of entertainment so why watch a match that takes of their day in which their country is not involved.
I cant imagine Aussie fans watching a WI vs India match in sydney (apart form the Indians in Aus)
Afterall cricket is just a sport !!
