High cost of tickets and travel costs ,perhaps ?
Twent20 has taken over "the" cricket final nowadays .
The one-day domestic competition has become a sort of afterthought in England since the success of T20.
Probably runs hand in hand with the England teams poor performances at this form of the game .
Know what you mean though Billy . The Lords final used to be a big highlight of the season .Cricket's version of the FA Cup Final and just look how that match has become of less significance over the last 10-15 years .
Progress ,eh ?
