hmmm it seems you are thinking the other way but i think you may be right but here the thing is that the excitment of the results that cricket produces has decreased because most of the matches are being fixed that's what i think.anyways happy mylotting.

Absolutely!!! Why would I spend time watching something that I guess may already be fixed. Its like we are fools watching something that has already been decided even before the match has begun. Fixing of matches does take place but it is done in such a manner where everything is hidden and nobody wants to be named for this or else their carrers are spoilt. But off lately it has reduced a lot and players are more cautious about things and they know that if they are caught doing such activities then they may even be suspended for life. But as I mentioned it does take place but only if someone leaks some information out then these matters come out in the open..

The effect these controversies has brought is minimum, the sport is still been loved by lot of peoples especially the introduction of 20-20 format has further increased its popularity. Many more people are coming to this sport.

hhmmm the popularity of cricket has increased because now india has won the world cup but if you remember correctly when we were defeated badly in 2007 worldcup there was not much craze after that but since dhoni won the 20-20 world cup from then the popularity and fewer of cricket has increased enourmously .
