*Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

International Regular
Bit underwhelming that this is the opener to a major competition and the ground is not even half full. Doesn't exactly give it that "big deal" feel.
Almost like the IPL has ruined cricket, fans around the world don't seem bothered about the other formats.

No doubt ticket prices, have priced many out too. Governing bodies of sport love to do that.

Moeen Ali being a good player of spin is one of the various myths surrounding his puzzling career.

its not just prices, tickets themselves were not sold in a proper manner
Give them away if you need to. No crowd for the opening match makes this a farce. Google are highlighting the opening match of the Cricket World Cup on their search engine, this is supposed to be 'a big deal'....then any person from around the globe tuning in is going to wonder 'what is going on? Where are the people? Is this a major sport?'
