kerry Packer Dies!!
Yes the outsider who has influenced more change in cricket has died at the age of 68.
I did not agree myself with what Kerry Packer did, and how he changed cricket, but I pay tribute to a man who took on the world-And Won.
RIP.

Kerry Packer revolutionised cricket for two reasons:

-It was crap the way it was and needed to be changed
-He could envisage himself making a quick buck out of that.

The reason why Packer lasted so long was because he was a good businessman. No Kerry Packer would mean cricket would only appeal to men, like it did in the pre-Packer days and wouldn't be of any interest to television stations.
