You could get half a billion ppl in India watching Sachin sleep.

A sign of global popularity ? Well of course.

Meanwhile test crowds continues to be steady!

for example for the current test featuring top teams:

George Dobell pops up from his press-box berth to inform us of a very special moment. "You may have seen a presentation to Moeen? Presented with his 25th cap." Gosh, what scenes.

"Not many in... not so much a 'crowd' as a 'sparse'," he adds. "Guess overheads might have convinced them to bowl, but pitch looks good." That would appear to be the measure of it.

But anyway, carry on.
