of course he wanted to make it sound like the attendance was fine.
reckon Edgbaston would be full against india/Australia especially against india if the tickets are cheap, think lords day 5 2011 showed if the tickets are cheap loads of indian will turn up and more would turn up if tickets are available closer to the game talking from past experience most indian only actually try to buy tickets closer to the test or game and by then only usually odi are available test generally are sold out.
Anyway suppose this would mean cricket is more likely to return FTA again.
quite funny how crap a lot of cricket administrators are at their job, actually remarkable cricket is still alive now and not dead ages ago.
about time fan actually spoke against the administrator, since ticket need to get cheaper so the game sell out, more people need to play and watch cricket and cricket needs to be more global.
should be remembered it was because of the fans speaking out against the big 3 that the big plans got u turned or why Giles clarke didn't get to be president of the ICC.
really people shouldn't be happy with the attendance or the way ECB run the cricket, especially with a board that hired giles clarke for so long.
