So for the first time in over a decade, Eden Gardens is eyeing a full house when India and Pakistan
face off in the second One-Dayer on January 3. That should have made
everyone - fans as well as officials at the Cricket Association of
Bengal - happy. But on the contrary, it has triggered anxiety among CAB
officials and fuelled anger among cricket enthusiasts. With less than 5%
tickets on sale for the general public,
cricket mandarins fear a backlash from angry fans who have been denied a
fair chance to watch an Indo-Pak encounter on the green since 1999.
