It seems to have changed OF,grounds used to be noisy and full of colours of the Pakistan or Indian supporters,maybe at Lords or the Oval,they can still pack them in,but it seems to be dead in my neck of the woods,and what puzzles me,there is a large ethnic population in and around Manchester,and throughout lancashire,Notice Old trafford have all but lost their Test status.
I used to love watching them,but it seems an age since they were last here.
