Do you think 'Cricket' is a good sport?

I too do not think cricket is a good sport because it allows you to waste lot of time. It draws away your interest from other interesting sports. Because there is lot of money involved there is always a possibility of scam. Then there is a tendency to bet. These are some of the things that makes cricket a bad sport.

Any sport is a good sport. You need to have a very high level of fitness to play any sport at the international level. Even a game like golf has professionals who follow stringent fitness regimes. So in that sense I do not see why Cricket or Golf should not be considered a sport. The amount of effort exercised changes from game to game, for e.g. in soccer or hockey it that that 70 to 90 minutes of sustained pace. In test cricket it is fitness to last 5 days sometimes in searing temperatures and some times with a lot of humidity. So in my books cricket is definitely a sport. Cheers! Ram

hi I think it is one of the easiest sports to watch! You picture up summer days sittng in a deck chair just watching them take their turn to play. So yes cricket is much better for the slow relaxed sports viewer but definately football for the excitement x
