If they can't get good crowds in Oz for an ODI WC, the ODI are dead

Not in Adelaide, they're not.

Crowds will be shit, no one cares about games that don't involve their nation.

Having said that, I have great tickets for the England vs Bangladesh game, the India vs Pakistan game would be awesome but I'm too scared to go to that one.

I was told the India V Pakis is a sell out?

Good luck catching a cab that day.

Me and the family have got Asian Cup tickets. 2 games in Brisbane and the final.

Am actually volunteering at the WC but don't know my schedule yet. Hopefully find that out next week.

Would it be worth trying Faulkner out as an opening batsman in the 50 over game?

Without a doubt, he does miss opportunities sometimes though and I wonder what he is capable of if he could produce that sort of stroke play from the beginning when the compulsory power play is on.
He has the capabilities to score a double ton.

scored 1 ton and 20 fifties at either first class or list a level (or higher).

Maybe it is a lack of opportunities, but I'm not sure.
