The effect is positive. Cricket skills are getting enhanced due to availability if video clips. Therefrom one can improve his/her technique and learn from other cricketers who perform well. Prominence and excellence of Australian cricket has something to attribute to this facility.\n\nSecondly it has broadened the follower base. A lot of people including kids and ladies have started following the game.

well when media protrays the other country as a mortal enemy - like in the movie Border - it can't make the two countries closer...so media can sway Indo Pak relations...remember when the two countries were about to go to war, the media was so forceful about the devastating issue - that things got sorted out pretty fast.\n\nSo yes Media has a big role

I don't think that will make such a difference. If they can concentrate  on the field, they can do whatever they want off the field.\nShane Warne is the best example for this. Remember what happened before the Ashes 2005, and how many wickets he got in that series?

Watching in the UK. They  are a bit emotional during England matches but I must say they have been quite objective especially with the lesser known teams although sometimes you do detect a trace of them patronizing weaker teams.

firstly you should learn how to play cricket...try to focus on   cricket matches being telecasted on tv...try to know the small things in it...then try all those things by practising outside and then see...i think you will surely get some changes in yourself...

cricket is business for many,like TV channels, BCCI, politicians, bookers, and ofcourse players.

It depends on whether one is a true cricket fan for its classic characteristics that no other sports offer. Not if you'd rather watch or play a fast-paced sport.

anything can happen in cricket.\n\nbangladesh beat australia in a 1 day match in aussie ground about 6-8 months ago, although they lost in the series. so far they hav beat zimbabye, india, pakistan, sri-lanka(about 3-4 months ago), kenya in ODIs. and they played really well against south africa test matches about a couple of months ago. and they were hard to defeat for australia in the 1st test match in the current series. \n\nppl who doesn't knw anything about cricket r just talkin crap only knowing tht aus is the world champ. at the moment, bangladesh's not in a good position to win the series but they shaked the base of aus team at the 1st test match for sure. the aus cricket board got scared at 1st & was thinking to replace shane warne & 1 other cricketer then.
