There might be something in that. I was surprised when I first read on here that cricket isn't played at most every school in the UK.Just an attempt to stir things up, right? I can see the fun of it. I've always liked verbal contests, even when crossing a line.
One thing though: the remarks on English football stadium and its audience, compared to Aussie cricket audience.
Could it be that, in England, cricket, including its spectators and followers, is a somewhat upper class sport, at least compared to football, whereas Australian cricket is the people's number one sport, like football is in England? I've never been to Australia (will do so sooner or later), but I have been to various sports events in England. Watching cricket at Lord's or The Oval is just something so totally different from watching football.....
It there is a perception that cricket isn't a "working man's" sport in England (and I don't know if that's right) then the closest sport here to that would probably be Rah Rah.
