Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Jukesy]

Why is (Jens) Lehmann being paraded around as the saviour of Australian cricket, the GOAT sporting coach?

He beat a country where cricket is like the 9th most popular sport.

Um, I'll maybe give you soccer and rugby but apart from that... The Poms love their cricket mate ::)

[Bill Manspeaker]

well... seemed to me when England held the ashes, cricket was a pretty popular sport for the Poms... England also have a faaairly big county cricket competition...

I don't argue about common sense things though. ;)

[Jukesy]

75% of my brit mates who live there don't and have never given a stuff about cricket

[PowerBug]

This leads me to believe that Cricket is in the Top 2 or Top 3.

Most played sports does not = most popular/supported sports.

Netball is in the top 3 most played sports in Australia but gets close to 0 media/crowd attention in comparison.

Cricket apparently is the 2nd most watched sport though behind Football/Soccer

Yeah I gotta agree, playing and supporting can't be compared at all.
