Doug Bollinger insists there is no danger of one-day cricket becoming extinct in the foreseeable future.

Just 24,463 people turned up to watch the first match of the one-day series against West Indies at the MCG on a sunny Sunday afternoon - less than half of the amount of people that were at the same venue on Friday night watching the Twenty20 international against Pakistan.

The crowd of 60,054 on Friday night was the biggest of the summer, eclipsing the Boxing Day Test, to clearly show which form of the game is the most popular with the public.

What makes the T20I crowd even more remarkable is that the game was played on a cool night after a rainy day and was in competition with the A-League match between Melbourne Victory and North Queensland at Etihad Stadium which attracted over 22,000 people.

But, despite the poor attendances, Bollinger remains confident in the 50-over format of the game and thinks people saying the game is close to dying is an overreaction.

"A crowd's a crowd. It's been a great summer with the Pakistan series and we've had great crowds the whole time so it wasn't a bad thing. I'm just happy people came out and watched us," he said.

"I think it is (an overreaction) because people have got things to do and if they don't want to come to the cricket well we can't do much about that but we're glad we had so many people come out yesterday and really enjoy themselves.

"I think 50-over cricket's great. As I said we had a great series against Pakistan and we've only just started against the West Indies and I think coming to Adelaide tomorrow it's going to be a great game and I'm sure there'll be a big crowd there.

"I think 50-over cricket's a great game and it will be there for a long time."

Not helping the crowd figures is the quality of opposition that has toured Australia this summer.

The Australians whitewashed Pakistan in both the Test series (3-0) and the one-day series (5-0) after having already defeated West Indies 2-0 in a three-Test series.

After claiming the opening one-dayer against the Windies, the prospect of an unbeaten summer remains firmly on the agenda and Bollinger said that would be the ultimate achievement.

"There's a great feel around the guys and that (unbeaten summer) would be the ultimate but we'll take Adelaide as Adelaide and then we'll go from there.

"An unbeaten summer - that'd be great, it would be fantastic."

The 28-year-old continued his fine summer with another two wickets yesterday, including the prized scalp of West Indies captain Chris Gayle.

And he knows he has to keep up the strong performances with the depth of fast bowlers in Australian cricket the strongest it has ever been.

"All the guys are really clicking at the moment. Ryan Harris is taking his chance as soon as he got it and Mitchell Johnson's been great for so many years now so everyone's going really well.

"It keeps everyone on their toes, but I think that's a good thing because you going that extra 10% for your spot and Clint McKay's doing a great job and I think that's a really good depth for Cricket Australia."
