woah!
Firstly, test match attendances in major venues in India are as big as England. English grounds on an average have capacities half that of Indian venues. Just look at recent test matches against England, Australia and you will notice that crowds have been consistently around 15-20k on an average in the major venues and we had close to full houses during weekends in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore recently. Given that weekdays we generally get close to half full when India bat, the attendances are`nt as bad as people make it sound like. The bigger capacity stadia make it look as if we have aweful attendance compared to England. Sheer numbers would point to a different story.
well when ever I see it on TV it looks empty, forget about it being half full lol
Maybe I'm wrong, do you have any stats backing that up?
8am Eden Gardens. The throbbing soul of Test cricket in India. Most conclusive proof that Test cricket is still relevant in India. One of the most intimidating places for teams to visit. Usually, the 12th man here is some 70,000 mad people appealing along with the Indian bowlers. You just don't want to be the new batsman in when you are visiting here and have just lost two wickets in quick succession
This just gave me a small smile. Which match you were referring as 'Empty'? India Vs Zimbabwe? India Vs Bangladesh?
Last Test @ Eden Gardens, India Vs England
