I think the argument was with twenty20 they were playing too much cricket, (but i think they changed the format before that anyway.) most of the main grounds have been enlarged over the last 10 years so they probably cost more to hire, but the television numbers are still very strong for the 50 over game and they used to play the non australian games at smaller venues, like Hobart or Adelaide or Perth, i can't remember a non Australian game at the MCG for instance. I think it was a much better format, the mini tournament every year helps set the mindset for the world cup. And you know it was always good to see great players come over from overseas, even if we weren't playing them in Test cricket.
