Kolkata, Jan 1: A little over a year ago, former England captain Tony Greig had called the Eden Gardens "a morgue" after a handful of spectators turned up for a India-West Indies Test. Alas! If only the cricketer had lived a few more days, he would have felt better.
For less than a week after the demise of the popular commentator, the iconic ground is all set to abuzz with a capacity crowd cheering arch-rivals India and Pakistan in a One- Day International (ODI) Thursday.
The stadium's custodian Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has announced a sell-out crowd.
"All the tickets have been sold out. It will be a sell-out crowd," CAB treasurer Biswarup Dey told IANS.
