Was it full last time around when other team except southafrica or India and pakisitan match. Even during indian match the stadium were not full. Go and watch highlight of matches like newzealand and australia , or even england you will still see empty stadium. The fact that westindian crowd have not turned up doesnot mean there is less excitment. Take an example of a peanut seller in jamaica which is typical of jamaica. he has to give 152 pound for one day to do his business. As far as quality and closeness of cricket is concerned it is by far best since 1992. Tell me , How many of you are Indian or pakistani supporter ? How many of you are watching it online? How many americans are watching it? Why is test match so exciting even when it is played in empty stadium? The answer is simple. It depends on what kind of people and surrounding you are living with. Whom you are watching with.Ever tried watchin match with barmy army supporters in pub? My kiwis and Irish friends arn't complaining and they are over the moon at the moment.
