Aaah, Andy. Now you're getting to a subject that I consider my area of specialty. You've never traveled to the sub-continent have you, by any chance? I can assure you that the numbers of advertisements cricketers from Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka appear in will be unmatched by their Australian counterparts (or indeed cricketers from any other part of the world). From the top of my head, I can recall seeing Pakistani and Indian cricketers in Television adverts for products as wide ranging as soft drinks, energy drinks, cell phones, motor bikes, soaps, shampoos, insurance deals, sports gear, watches, car tyres, credit cards, toothpaste, bulbs, ice cream, chewing gums, real estate...you name it, they've endorsed it.
