Given the era of its collapse it seems to me that professional bowling missed out on the ride which modern sport packaged television brought. A Kerry Packer/Bernie Eccelstone type could perhaps have had bowling on every screen now.

As a side note, I am watching my favourite sport, Test cricket, die as well, replacing it is a glitzier, shorter less technically demanding version of cricket called T20. The appetite for 5 day matches seem to be on the wan, although any cricketer would tell you, the longest format of the game is where your mettle truly gets tested.

If anything T20 will replace the 50 over game. The recent ashes and the Aus v SA tour has definitely re-ignited interest in Test cricket though.
