CRICKET MOST POPULAR DOWN UNDER


Cricket Australia (CA) is struggling to hide its joy. A new research has shown that cricket is indeed the most popular TV sport Down Under.

A new Roy Morgan research has shown that 47% of Australians watch cricket on TV far greater than AFL football (41%), tennis (33%), NRL (25%); golf (18%), Rugby Union (10%) and A-League (8%).

And, that's not all. Here comes the biggest surprise (and certainly a big breather for the likes of Symonds & Hayden): The research rated the team and all of its individual players very highly with 83% of respondents saying that the Australian cricketers are good role models for children.

Umhhhh... Let's hope the kids are learning all the good things...!
