[the_myth]

What is the most Popular sport in the world?.I think every one knows it,yeah it's Foot Ball.But do you know which one is the second most popular sport in the World.Is it Rugby?,is it Golf?,is it Table Tennis? or is it Basket Ball .I'm afraid it's not.According to the statistics the second most popular sport in the world is Cricket.Here is a you tube video which shows it.

If the video doesn't work here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2_-rQrxU1o


Many people think(I'm sure you too think the same) that only 12 to 15 countries play cricket.But again I must say you are totally wrong.There are 104 countries which play cricket and are members of ICC(International Cricket Council).

This is an article from Wikipedia which proves those facts.

The link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket (Read the third paragraph)

Cricket has a good chance of b'in the second most popular sport cos India alone has nearly 1 billion of population and almost every Indian is a Cricket fan..!!
and that's nearly 1 sixth of the world population..!!!!

Yeah,India plays a big part in this factor.

Take a look at this

The English gentleman’s game is the most popular sport in the Indian subcontinent, which has a 1.5 billion population. It attracts crazy fans with a religion-like following in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Then there is the West Indies and the 20 million or so non-residential Indians - figures that can be matched only by the soccer buffs of Europe and South America. Cricket is among the top three most popular sports in Australia, England, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, New Zealand,
