well the advancement in television technology has assured that many more people watch cricket. People who are thousands of miles away from the venue of the match can watch the match, with all the tiny details. New features like the hawkeye have proved to be very useful. Cricket has certainly been made more enjoyable.

Lance Armstrong is an absolutely legend an inspiration to everyone who deserves to go down in history for his attitude, courage and achievements.\n\nHowever, as for sporting events themselves England winning the Ashes was sheer magic and I was lucky enough to be out of work at the time to watch every single, nail-biting second of it. Since our test win against South Africa we've improved no end n this was the peak of it. The way it was played and won was incredible, and the Auzzies (Shane Warne in particular) were a joy to watch. If we'd have lost it'd still been the best.\n\nJust a shame we got battered in India.

Good point, geezer, Look at the workload shifted on Freddie and the boys for England this year - Sri Lanka and Pakistan for 7 tests and 12-odd one-dayers in the summer, Champions Trophy in India in October, Ashes Series down under November to January and then the bleedin' World Cup in the Caribbean in March/April. I love watching the game and feel now this is one of the most exciting periods in the game for many years, but you've got to ask questions.

After the last Ashes series? Yes Cricket is second to Football in the UK but it is still loved by millions. The new version of the game 20-20 is proving very popular and the after first 20-20 world cup I think you'll find the game on the rise once again.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mahendra Singh Dhoni breaks the record in the forthcoming West Indies tour.\n\nHe almost did it against Sri Lanka ( http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/SL_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/SL_IND_ODI3_31OCT2005.html ) but sadly, there weren't enough runs on the board.

Unfortunately cricket is given way too much importance here. Tennis is finally picking up after the emergence of Sania Mirza. Hockey, which used to be popular is also given less importance these days. The media is partly to blame for that, since they idolise the cricketers & leave the players of others sports out...\n\nAlso, politics has crept into sports as well. Really good players might be dropped from the team, & the ones who have the influence & are thick with the selectors will find a way in...\n\nHopefully by the end of the next decade things should change (though personally I don't see it happen), & India atleast qualifies for the World Cup!

Well, an estimated 2 billion viewers tuned into the 2003 cricket world cup. This includes the entire championship. Compare that to the FIFA world cup final, where a single day viewership stood at 1.35 billion.\n\nHave a look at these links:\nhttp://www.uni.edu/pubrel/newsroom/releases/012301.html\nhttp://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=574061\n\n:

In the history of cricket there is only 6 people to have scored 30 or more centuries, and they avg 100-150 matches, for top players the ratio is around 7-15%\n\nInterestingly of people to score 11 test centuries there is only 12 people! In the entire history, that seems quite rare, and rember thesse people are the cream of the history of plyers, they can spend their entire carears playing avg, 50-80 tests\n\nWhen looking at the stats the conversion rates of around 5-15% of all matches turn to centuries.  Than in a match there are probally 6 reconized batsman with chances 5-15%, i will assume that each team has a 30-40% chance of scoring a century, so total chacne of scoring a century is around 80% per every match, which is quite high, but rember that there are alot of batman, in the team so there are alot of chances, that go missing.
