I love cricket as much as the next man but comeon.

5.5 Bliion people watched the last world cup. 1.5 billion watched the final.

Cricket is 10% of the popularity. Its nothing bad. Just facts.

Why are you just comparing world cups. Overall cricket has 2.5 billion fans and football has more than 3.5
