[varun]

Number of ODIs seem to have reduced from 2 years ago with T20s becoming popular. Good or bad ? Discuss.

[The Outsider]

Most teams tend to play more ODIs approaching the WC and then of course the WC year has a huge number of ODIs - some conclusion can possibly be drawn after the numbers from the next 2 years.

[Jersey #10]

2007 was the best year of all

[Chandan]

Varun, Can we have number of ODIs played by India, Australia, SA and SL in each of last 5 years? That way we can deduce who has been playing the maximum number of ODIs. Tests, of course we know the numbers.

2007 is huge because of the WC - boring one sided matches..what a sleepfest it was.
