decay of cricket

Yes you can say that, but not really, in england its all happens too, as it is the national game of the country, also Australia is the most suitable place for cricket becasue even their domestic matches usually have full crowd

asia means not only india pakisthan srilanka,but has many countries.if you have mentioned sub continent that would have been better.if cricket popularity outside asia is nothing then india,pak or lanka would have been the top side.if u think cricket is most popular in asiathen what a pity that there is no cricket played in asiad(asian games)

Popularity of cricket exists only in the subcontinent countries. In other countries people do not waste their time on such a long game. They prefer to watch shorter games like tennis and football. Cricket is not their cup of tea.
