ODI Cricket Dead? Fans Question Future of 50-Overs Format After Poor Attendance at MCG During AUS vs ENG 3rd ODI 2022

Questions on the future of the ODI cricket and its popularity among the new generation of cricket fans continues as the Australia vs England 3rd ODI sees a very low attendance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Although the reason for the low attendance includes the game being hosted on a weekday just after the T20 World Cup in Australia, concerns about the diminishing popularity of the 50-over format cannot be completely ignored.

MCG sees record low attendance

I can’t recall such a small crowd at the MCG for a men’s ODI. Couldn’t be confident there’s many more than 1000 here. #AUSvENG pic.twitter.com/LbDtXy3Idj

Questionable schedule

Media: cricket is dead, poor crowds.

Reality: it’s a Tuesday, at 3:57, as school is only just finished, and people are still at work, and we just had a T20 World Cup. #AUSvENG #getagripmedia
