I have. I don't consider cricket besides fast bowling to be a real sport. It's a game of skill. That's it. I gave you my opinion.

I love cricket. I love chess. I love 500. But it's hardly a real sport.

That is not response to any of the questions I asked. Kindly respond.

1. Bo Jackson could beat Comaneci in gymnastics?
2. Shamron in the ring?
3. Face bowling of Bill O' Reilly which even the most expert cricketers struggle in?
4. Should be stop appreciating the skill of great cricketers just because Mbappe can run faster?

Bro you keep saying that you will keep replying until people stop replying to you, but why? Do you really have that little going on in your life?

Or is it like a psychological issue, like you can't leave something unfinished, because I have met kids (and adults) like that, usually autism-related.

If it is a genuine psychological issue I apologise, but otherwise why don't you just shut down your computer/phone and go do something else? You're not making any friends or ingratiating yourself with anyone with your posting here right now. Your just embarrassing yourself. Take a break IMO.

edit: I really mean this in the best possible way, not trying to have a go at you Miyagi

Since when are sports not games of skill. I suppose it nullifies any of your points about Jackson considering that he required considerable skill in his sports to maintain a great but not legendary career as a running back, a less than special batting average and great out fielding ability.

I love games of skill. I appreciate the talents of those who win at games of skill. I even watch WSOP.

But if we're talking sportsmen, and including cricket batsmen, seems a lil lame to me.

Where's the sport? Hitting a 6 times every 5 minutes divided by 2?

I answered it in one.

I don't think cricket is enough of a sport for a batsman to every qualify as great sportsman, as there's no power, endurance, speed, power or enough navigating what is in front of him as a challenge beyond the hand eye skill of swatting a ball a couple times every 6 minutes.

No it requires skill. But it doesn't require athleticism, fitness, power, muscles, endurance, power, speed, strength, or anything else.

Tennis is deserving of more respect from a sporting point of view.

I love cricket. But I know its limitations as a "real sport".

One of my school friends who used to hate cricket used to make this point that Inzamam is such a fat bloke, so how can cricket be an awesome game. Countering a cricket ball requires skill and any one who has played even a bit of cricket would go beyond the fat argument.
