    Going by my definition of something not being a sport if I am fit enough to play it, then cricket is a sport.

    Rugby League is only taken seriously in 3 countries.

    Rugby league world cup cannot be taken seriously .
    Rugby union and cricket are more credible but not truly world sports ..

    I've been a bit disappointed with the play offs actually .
    Hopefully ( and I believe it will ) Patriots against Chargers will be good ;;

    Yeah, it hasn't felt anywhere near as good as in recent years.

    Obviously because the Falcons aren't there <cheers>

    Being a little unfair to Papua New Guinea there - it is their national sport.

    Obviously Max Woosnam is only a name I remember from this type of debate years ago, but he’s an interesting shout

    Wiki stuff “Among his achievements were winning an Olympic gold and silver in tennis at the 1920 Summer Olympics, winning the doubles at Wimbledon, compiling a 147 break in Snooker, making a century at Lord's Cricket Ground, captaining the British Davis Cup team, captaining Manchester City F.C. finishing ultimately runners-up for the Football League Championship in 1920–21 and captaining the England national football team.”
    And he also fought alongside Seigfried Sassoon in Gallipoli
