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 !!
The above statement is logical and true. But, I have failed to understand BCCI's statement regarding hosting BD!
As per you...Indians only watch cricket if they play, due to time constrain. Very realistic. According to you, then, there is no prob. for BCCI to invite Bangladesh and make money!
Thats what al-Furqaan wanted to point it out.
