Do You Think That Cricket Is Losing Its Popularity In England?

20 December 2009 35 views 11 Comments

England – the birth place of cricket has never won any ICC trophy yet. Youngsters in england want to be like David Backhaem or wayne roonie but not like Andrew flintoff or Michael Vaughn. When you see jam packed stadium when matches held in india, south africa or australia and when you see empty stands in england which is the birth place of cricket, you can easily make out the difference. What could be the reason behind it?

    Definetly,
    Most of the English are concentrated on football than on cricket.
    The recent failures of the english team also contribute to this

    It is the younger generation that is less interested in cricket in England.
    Although they still have a big population of “old folk” followers and enthusiasts.
    Cricket began in England as primarily a gentleman’s game and has remained that way.
    Although in other countries like Aus, Ind, Pak etc cricket is one of the national sports, every kid has a cricket bat at home.
