The 'big 3' has a reverential feel to it. Can we agree on 'the moneybags 3', so it's clear what the 'big' element refers to.
TIA.

There's only the big one, the other two's just piggybacking on multiple tours from/to India. The cricketing market worldwide probably wouldn't be even 20% of what it is without the big "one" - just talking about economics of course.

I wish the rest of the world would leave the 'Big One' to play its hit and giggle by itself, then maybe we could have international cricket back in its rightful place.
I wish.

Take this elsewhere please.
Which is? The fact is IPL is the biggest show piece in cricket - I don't care about IPL & don't watch it. But simplifying the debate about cricket to reductionist BS like the
In the mean time how about ICC sponsor/subsidize the less profitable test tours? I mean they are already making millions through "WTC" why not actually put that money where it's needed the most? No need to pay the pig 3 or the big one.

I'm well aware of what the IPL is.
The one good thing about sport as a business is that anyone can withdraw their custom if they don't like it. That's what I'm doing, not that those running the game care. What's love got to do with it eh?
Not sure what you mean? Is that a question or just an observation into how cricket's doing these days?
For me the problem also lies with the players, some of them are just too busy exploiting their obscene power (brand value) in a market where they're clearly in demand. I don't follow club football at all but was it similar to the current state of cricket 20 years back i.e. too much money? And probably the biggest issue is casual fans IMO who just don't care about tests anymore!
