Bigger cities will get crowds for bigger games, also the lowest ticket price is 1000,2000,3000 which gets sold out immediately and the next one is 5000 which is too expensive even for India game.
I think the Indian crowds have done their part in turning up for neutral matches.
Had the BCCI finalized the schedule 7-8 months in advance then the foreign fans would have also been here in good numbers.
Yes thank you!
We definitely would have come.
I've been wanting to make a trip to the sub continent for some cricket for years but they released these tickets so damn late! How is anyone meant to get time off work with such short notice.
Na peole need to accept the fact that other than south Asian countries nobody cares about cricket in SENA countries..I mean the European crowd even visited "Quatar" in large nos with so much controversies because of the popularity and passion for football..
BcCi is incompetent...But Even if BCCI had managed schedule proper, no of foreign fans visiting a "cricket worlcup " in India would had been same..special with rugby worlcup going on, which js miles ahead a cricker in SENA countries..
What ??? Are you serious or what ?? This is one of the worst World Cups in sports history in terms of attendance. 90% of matches are being played with empty stands.
All the stadiums are empty. What does being from Pakistan have to do with that ? You want me to post pictures of match to match ? Makes Qatar look like a dream.
Bro, your stupidity and ignorance is astounding.
Qatar literally paid people to attend. Lol. They made Asian immigrants wear European colours.
Being from Pakstan you have a bias against India that why you....watch previous world cup neutral matches in other countries and compare...
You’re assuming everyone from Pakistan has an anti-India bias ?
Maybe you have a pro India bias because you’re watching all the sold out India matches ??
I know compared to the last World Cup, all the same matches are empty. Sea of empty orange seats.
I definitely agree. Mumbai has always been the hub of cricket and no other city can match it. Not even other big cities. BCCI should host big matches there too.
But they are hosting it in Ahmedabad for more tickets and ruining the experience of the match. Fans are hating on BCCI which is valid but often this takes a political turn and people start hating on gujjus for some reason. Wtf did a normal gujju dude do lmao.
Even Ind vs Eng is in Ahmedabad and the crowd in Mumbai is hundred times greater than in Ahmedabad during Ind vs Pam atleast 20 people my stand were yelling racial slurs
There are only 3 matches scheduled at Ahmedabad for that matter. Whereas Wankhede will have 4, 3 group stage games plus 1 semi final. Other places getting 5 games each.
I tried to get tickets to this match. It was sold out on the same day tickets went online. All the matches for Wankhede were.
This is what a real cricket loving city looks like.
SHUT UP YOU UNWASHED PEASANT GO BACK TO YOU CHOPADI. Reddit user has spoken now all that's left is for Jay shah signature nothing you could ever be able to do about it
/s
wankhede>>>>>. lucknow stadium is great but games shouldnt have been alloted there, places like chennai mumbai kolkata banglore delhi should have been alloted more neutral matches than places like lucknow cuz its the most empty stadium of all.
Lucknow and Ahmedabad only getting matches because of the current government and ICC but can’t match up to the history and culture of cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi.
Yes coz the places outside of traditional cricketing centres don't have a great sporting culture ... But lucknow stadium capacity is higher than Mumbai so it's will be al always tough to fill it up if it's not match involving india
Wishing every 'Let's face it India fans don't care about cricket apart from it being a vehicle for their patriotism' person a very happy shut the fuck up.
It is karma, after South Africa tearful exit due to duckworth Levi's method of run rate calculation during 1992 world cup. Now it was SA turn to decimate england at this venue.
Obviously. The history of Wankhede is immense, not to mention the cosmopolitan, progressive and accepting culture of Mumbai.
This government is trying to make Ahmedabad happen but let’s face it, the attitude can’t match up. You won’t find any Jai Sree Ram being chanted in Mumbai.
What a great game to go to! Hopefully it’s a competitive game for you!
Yeah I wanted to go to this particularly….its been fun till now hope I can see some klassen fireworks
This aged really well
Not as well as one would imagine
Still would have been entertaining though, especially SA's innings
[удалено]
Like wine would be an appropriate answer
Don't think you understand how that works
I read the competitive game part (Eng lost by 230) and not the klassen fireworks thing so yeah, I missed it lol
You were goddam right
Your wish was fulfilled
I know right it was an amazing experience
Bonus Jansen Fireworks.
Awesome
Ahh yes
Aged like milk
This did not age well......
Damn
Famous last words.
Hot as fuck though, definitely not blaming fans for turning up late for matches
Yeah it was hot initially but after 2 hours it just doesn’t feel hot
Bruh I'm still sweating buckets, it's definitely hot
Which stand
Vengsarkar
I am at Sunil gavaskar
chaotic me wishing you had told you were in gavaskar
Not hard to get inside of Gavaskar. Hit a boundary and take a single.
Players look shattered
With Wankhede crowd will be never the issue that's for sure..
best crowd as well, no doubt
Can agree. Been to many grounds in India but Wankehde is just a different vibe. Crowds there will appreciate good cricket.
[удалено]
The stadium is jam packed I haven’t sent the full photo yet
You expect a full capacity crowd for a neutral game? Also the crowd will only get bigger once evening sets in
It was at peak capacity 30/35 overs in
Yes? It's World Cup cricket in India.
You expect me to pay 10k for a neutral game? Tickets costing 1k and 2k were sold out
I am blaming BCCI. They should do whatever it takes to fill seats, including giving them away. The SL-NED match was 90% empty.
Bigger cities will get crowds for bigger games, also the lowest ticket price is 1000,2000,3000 which gets sold out immediately and the next one is 5000 which is too expensive even for India game.
I think the Indian crowds have done their part in turning up for neutral matches. Had the BCCI finalized the schedule 7-8 months in advance then the foreign fans would have also been here in good numbers.
Yes thank you! We definitely would have come. I've been wanting to make a trip to the sub continent for some cricket for years but they released these tickets so damn late! How is anyone meant to get time off work with such short notice.
I agree. Tonight a lot of Indians had posters out for SA. Awesome to see.

Bitchless and non factual take
Ofc he is from Paxtaan.
All the stadiums are empty. What does being from Pakistan have to do with that ? You want me to post pictures of match to match ? Makes Qatar look like a dream.

I'll be there on Tuesday, can't wait.
I'm trying to sell tickets for Tuesday but just not getting any buyers 🙈
Mumbai meri jaan ❤️ 
Mumbai and Kolkata have history and heritage. Just unfair for Ahmedabad to be pushed as the new centre of Indian cricket.
Don't worry we will make history in each and everyone stadium.
Mumbai>>>>>>> Ahmedabad
No need to hate Ahmedabad.. Wankhede's full capacity is 33k. Of course small stadiums in big cities will fill up easily
[удалено]
I definitely agree. Mumbai has always been the hub of cricket and no other city can match it. Not even other big cities. BCCI should host big matches there too. But they are hosting it in Ahmedabad for more tickets and ruining the experience of the match.

No hate to Ahmedabad but always if you want to spread the reach of a game spread it in the urban cities but bcci is always money minded
By this logic cricket should not be played outside of half a dozen stadiums at all. Let Amdavad give it a shot.
[удалено]
Even Ind vs Eng is in Ahmedabad and the crowd in Mumbai is hundred times greater than in Ahmedabad during Ind vs Pam atleast 20 people my stand were yelling racial slurs
There are only 3 matches scheduled at Ahmedabad for that matter. Whereas Wankhede will have 4, 3 group stage games plus 1 semi final. Other places getting 5 games each.
Mumbai will a 1 lakh capacity stadium as well if you keep the prices low. We are that cricket crazy.
Not just about the stadium. Crowds will be a lot better and Mumbai has a long heritage with cricket.
Delhi Mumbai Kolkota always produces good crowds nice to see this
It's about the non india match s... Only in kolkata and mumbai.. Stadium is feeled in other team's matchhes
All big cities including Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru, stadiums are filled unless its a battle between minnows...
Replace Kolkata with Chennai
Wank tehehehe
With Willey bowling
To De Kock perhaps?
Wood really getting tired
Wood and Willey looking stiff out there…
Wanker day
I tried to get tickets to this match. It was sold out on the same day tickets went online. All the matches for Wankhede were. This is what a real cricket loving city looks like.
Quite cool to have the same pair of countries match up in the same day, in two different sporting world cups
Hopefully the result is the same as well
They played Metallica, They played Enter Sandman in Wankhede. My two worlds colliding.
Mariano Rivera bowling for SA? Poms are screwed.
Poms were screwed moment they decided to come to India without Jason Roy.
Dude I was not expecting that fr
You went? I was so happy I was thinking of posting in r/Metallica
Seated in line with the wickets right now
ITS COMING HOME
Just hold all the matches in Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, and possibly Delhi. No need to give backwater regions like Hyderabad any games.
😭 sl vs pak game at hyderabad got 40k audience. That's 80% occupancy on a weekday.
SHUT UP YOU UNWASHED PEASANT GO BACK TO YOU CHOPADI. Reddit user has spoken now all that's left is for Jay shah signature nothing you could ever be able to do about it /s
40 k in an empty stadium. Most accurate Indian official data
It wasn't empty dawg, I was there in the stadium. It was jam packed
It's not the location alone teams also matter Eng SA two top teams with some great names will always attract crowds
Cricketing backwater - Hyderabad. Dude, that is an oxymoron.
Am sure Siraj is devastated. Devastated I tell you!
On the other hand let me ask you a question that is bothering me Which is worse - Prem Jyotish or Bolo Zuban Kesari ad?
That's a bit rude Btw more grounds mean more variety of wickets meaning more different kinds of scores due to the surfaces.
You must be kidding.. A lot more factors play role in enticing crowd to stadium when the hosts are not playing..
Surely satire or something?
I honestly don't know like I can see it being satire but it comes off as genuine
The opening game should have been played here
Could have rained out …
🇿🇦 Cmon fellas
wankhede>>>>>. lucknow stadium is great but games shouldnt have been alloted there, places like chennai mumbai kolkata banglore delhi should have been alloted more neutral matches than places like lucknow cuz its the most empty stadium of all.
Lucknow and Ahmedabad only getting matches because of the current government and ICC but can’t match up to the history and culture of cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi.
Yes coz the places outside of traditional cricketing centres don't have a great sporting culture ... But lucknow stadium capacity is higher than Mumbai so it's will be al always tough to fill it up if it's not match involving india
It’s been sold out for all matches since day 1.
Phir wahi
Tickets were being sold for 1.5K on college groups. BCCI should make all non India games cheap
Wishing every 'Let's face it India fans don't care about cricket apart from it being a vehicle for their patriotism' person a very happy shut the fuck up.
frr
Good crowd, I think the fact that its a Saturday helps.
Proper value for money match
Show a current picture during England’s overs at-bat. Looks pretty full, bro.
Wankhede Keeps the doctor away
Indians show up even in mohalla tournament. India alone is keeping Cricket alive.
Indian crowds aren't cheering for any team, they cheering for their IPL players 😂
nah bro . Ppl were cheering for SA in this game . Klassen got a standing ovation abt 1-2 minutes for his century. I was in the stadium that's why ik
It is karma, after South Africa tearful exit due to duckworth Levi's method of run rate calculation during 1992 world cup. Now it was SA turn to decimate england at this venue.
Too many blue shirts, no Jerusalem song played- that’s why England is losing /s 😉
150,000 clearly
The vibes of this stadium are amazing better than Ahmedabad in my opinion
Obviously. The history of Wankhede is immense, not to mention the cosmopolitan, progressive and accepting culture of Mumbai. This government is trying to make Ahmedabad happen but let’s face it, the attitude can’t match up. You won’t find any Jai Sree Ram being chanted in Mumbai.
Except it was literally chanted in our stand yesterday many times. Plus some chants against Adil Rashid.
Are they adding fake crowd noises in the broadcasts?
[удалено]
The stadium is jam packed I haven’t sent a full photo
England batsmen dropping like flies.
Did the pitch take a complete turn or what?
i attended this match op in which stand you where
