Death of T20 imminent? Fad passing?

Well the problem isn't relevant in India, where we manage to fill grounds regardless of the format. Pakistan obviously has non-cricketing related issues. Sri Lanka is in a financial hole and I don't think Bangladesh every filled cricket grounds. So really, the situation is no different than it was before, except that everyone has an opinion of Twenty20 and the BCCI and a medium to share it.

Well I remember watching some of the India vs Sri lanka series in india last year and the stadiums were not exactly full.

It's due to the over dose of SL-IND matches. The rivalry between the 2 teams has faded immensely over the past few years.

Maybe if we didn't play them twice a month you would have seen a different result.

It was full when we played England, Australia, South Africa, etc. I guarantee you it would be full if we played Pakistan, as well. New Zealand, West Indies, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh series' would obviously not draw as many crowds. India-Sri Lanka would be a good encounter if we didn't play each other in every other series.
