    I always thought Cricket was a sport! :eek:

    A better question is, what is the definition of a sport :p

    Sport, as far as I'm concerned, is an activity that can get you moderately out of breath if you're doing it correctly! Chess doesn't, nor does darts, nor does snooker.

    Who said cricket is not a sport :confused:
    Cricket is a good way to get some exercise and this is what sports is all about so how come it is not a sport?

    Why do you continue spamming despite people asking you not to?
