"That Lineker, he's shit. They've ruined MotD. I'm not watching"
"Women commentators? I'm not watching"
"Kneeling before kick off? I'm not watching"
"Bob Nudd should have won 10 SPOTY. I'm not watching"

Bob Nudd is one of the few fishermen I’ve actually heard of, along with Quint, Rex Hunt and Captain Ahab.

Cricket. The third most popular spectator sport in UK. Whoooo fancy.

Just the 7 months before the game.

Global perspective:



I think it is intersting that if you add cricket and table tennis together it is nearly as much as footy!

Other combinations are possible

Has the shortlist for foreign manager of the year. Surely Rohl is nailed on for it

I'm sure there used to be this prize back in the day.

"He's revolutionised football by making tactical changes when losing. He's brought hope to thick fans. 2024 winner of foreign coach is Danny Rohl manager of the massive"

I cant imagine Joe Root coming in the 1st 1000, for global sports personality.
I thought this thread was for the UK sports personality.

If there is a category for UK, sorry, English, Cricket (3rd most popular sport) personality he has a good chance.

Cricket, the game for people with memory retention of over five minutes.

Unpopular opinions..... cricket is a dying, irrelevant sport. Doesn't even know how long it is played for. A few hours? A day? 5 days? The only game it sells out (in England anyway) is the Ashes. County games are watched by a few old men and a dog. Wouldn't recognise any cricket players if I fell over them in the street.
Hand grenade pin removed. Discuss.

Cricket, the game for folk,, with memory retention of over five minutes.

Could broaden it to Yorkshire sport in general if you wanted to double down and be properly inflammatory?

It gets more than greyhound racing.
