I think a lot of English club cricket is kept going by migrants.Captain Hobo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:31 amCricket is popular everywhere in summer, although less so among 'Aussies' than when I was playing. Indian migrants are keeping a lots of clubs going in my area (Melbourne) assume Sydney and Brisbane are similar.Randall wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 10:12 am Australia seems to have embraced everything although football seems to be at the bottom of the list and like America they seemed to want to set themselves apart with aussie rules
Hobo, what is the split in popularity/participation between the team sports in Australia?
Cricket
Rugby
Football
Aussie rules etc
And has there been a shift?
Both codes of Rugby are mainly played in NSW and QLD. The main winter code in all other states is Aussie Rules.
Rugby is traditionally mainly played by Private Schools and upper classes and League is for the working class and much more popular overall.
They clearly aren't playing football

Every shitty and irrelevant sport is big in China, that's why they always do so well at the Olympics. The state runs everything in typical Commie fashion.

We played it at school occasionally but beyond that I'm unaware of any culture for it in this country

Re: The globalisation of sport and the effect of British colonialism
One time my colleagues and me went to a tt club after work to play with idea of going after to a nearby pub with excellent craft beer and best chicken wings in town. One of the colleagues inform us that he will go to pub but will not eat and drink cause he and his wife started some kind of horrible cabbage based diet. So he watched us all night getting pissed.
When he came home he told his wife about a sacrifice he made because of the diet.
What diet? Oh, that, I stopped two weeks ago...
