The increase in Hero Honda sales can be attributed more due to their increased focus on the 100 C.C segment (CD Deluxe for example). The CBZ Xtreme has done well than its previous 150 C.C non-achiever, the "Achiever".. but still the actual numbers have come from the 100 C.C segment.

Honda India Chief says: "Of course, 100 cc is Hero Honda’s major segment but it’s size is also the biggest in the motorcycle market. So there is more room for both companies to co-exist".

I think, people are still going to watch the World Cup for the Australian matches. The last Australia-South Africa match was a real entertainer. So, its not a total waste spending all that money.
Well some poeple might still watch it.. but for majority of Indians, it's over.
For me at least it's over.
