Well if you are right - then cricket as a game has ended, I for one would stop watching - and turn to baseball instead.

If the wickets in the actual World Cup are anything like those on the friendly games, your prophecy might well come to pass. Unfortunately, the some of pitches we see these days seem to encourage the negative approach to ODI cricket. My hometown Bangalore in India is an example; in November 2005 I saw one of the most boring ODIs between India and South Africa in which some 350 runs were scored in all in 7 hours; India won the match easily because the dew made bowling very difficult under the lights for the Proteas with India chasing their low total.

Also countries should be fined for producing POOR cricket wickets.

Absolutely. And I believe that Day / Night matches should be stopped.
