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.

According to cricketlogic.blogspot.com, 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...!
