		Many of you feel cricket is a worldwide phenomenon and not, as I've suggested, restricted to certain parts of the planet.
		In fact, cricket is watched more than soccer, for the simple fact that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are in the same time zone; unlike the big soccer events which take place when 70% of the world is snoring.

	Definition of International structure of cricket
		The structure of international cricket has evolved only recently from a traditional ad hoc basis.
		The structure will no doubt evolve further after the first Twenty20 international match scheduled to take place between England and Australia on June 13 2005 given the popularity of the short form of the one day game in England.
		The length of the series is based on the home country's attitude towards the modern form of cricket, one-day internationals; traditional nations such as England and Australia usually organize five-match series, while one-day crazy nations such as India favour three-match series.

		This proved very beneficial for the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) due to the pulling power of the regional side, especially during the period of unprecedented dominance in the 1980s and first half of the 1990s.
