Cricket is a sport.

Cricket takes time to appreciate but it's a cool sport...
Was lucky enough to see Steve Waugh (the michael jordon of cricket) play his last game.
You can imagine how drunk the crowd can get after 5 straight days of the same match...

Bodybuilding is more of a cult hobby than a sport, but I still consider it a sport.

Antigua is investing $400 Million on improving their Airport to host the 2007 Cricket World Cup. I think that speaks volumes on the popularity of cricket verses bodybuilding.

Your right, I was there Super Bowl weekend and the Cricket stadium is already completed, the people there are really excited, it is a popular sport w/ them and it will bring a ton of $$$ to the Island. The Airport construction is underway.
I love Antiqua.....best beaches in the world.

You're neither a Big guy or a guy who does well in bodybuilding yet you argue it's a sport.
Explain that.

It's true...
Of the 3 main american sports only basketball has an international presence.
Football and baseball are very minor sports world wide

Cricket seemed to be a little more action-filled than baseball though.

Prove it.

Cricket seemed to be a little more action-filled than baseball though.
Especially the one day game
8 hours of play often comes down to the final ball of the day with the batsman needing to hit the ball to the fence or even over the fence (kinda like a home run) for his team to win. All this after 600 balls have been bowled that day already...

what's it gonna take for bodybuilding to be considered a serious sport because the IFBB aint gettin it done

Assuming you're this "ian van guilder" guy(assuming)...I've never heard of you. Meaning you obviously don't do so well in bodybuilding circles.
I saw the website and under "Competitions and awards" there's nothing listed.
Same with "Sponsorships".
And the only photographs on his site are too blurry to make out anything.

Sport- • noun 1 an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sport?view=uk
Sport-a game, competition or activity needing physical effort and skill that is played or done according to rules, for enjoyment and/or as a job
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=76820&dict=CALD
Sport-Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sport&r=66
Sport is defined as an activity involving PHYSICAL EXERTION AND SKILL. Standing onstage and being judged on LOOKS is not a sport. Assuming flexing is "physical exertion" and that's a stretch to say the least,They are NOT JUDGED on flexing or posing but on looks.
In a REAL SPORT you come in at your best physical ability. In BODYBUILDING,Bodybuilders come in AT THEIR WEAKEST PHYSICALLY. When they are standing onstage after weeks of dieting they physically are at their weakest points. If bodybuilding were a real sport this would not cut it.
So we've proven Standing onstage in bodybuilding competitions is not a "Sport".
How about the physical effort it takes to lift the weights?
This is not a sport either because 1.They are not judged by how much they can lift or how hard they train. 2.The Training does not follow a set of "Rules" for competition. The bodybuilders training techniques vary vastly.
So the fact of the matter is Bodybuilding is not a sport from any aspect of the matter.
-
flexing every muscle simultaneously is physical exertion just ask Arnold
just ask anybody who has competed IN A MEANINGFUL SHOW posing onstage is a workout in itself
posing well takes skill it is common knowledge paul dillet would have placed higher if he knew how to pose
ronnie outposed jay to win the 01 Olympia
many bodybuilders have placed higher because they did well in the posing round
proves it's a sport
also none of what you said changes the fact that Yahoo and those other two sites list it as a sport
"but i don't see it on ESPN"

Bowling must be a sport if Cricket is. Cricket must be VERY demanding if games last 5 consecutive 8-hour days. ::) Plenty of time for ass-picking during those "epic" battles. Even curling's more athletic.

-
Pumpster,
it can be VERY taxing.
A good batsman may bat continously for 2 days straight without a break if he is very good.
Same with a good fast bowler if his team is weak or they have injuries he may bowl for most of the game.
Of course when one team is batting only 2 of their players are on the field at one time.
A good batsman might field for 2 days then bat for two days straight though...

Give me one source where the judges said Ronnie won the 2001 Olympia due to his superior posing and not his superior physique.
Just because flexing onstage requires physical exertion does not mean they are judged on flexing. They aren't. They are judged on looks.
Yahoo simply made a mistake of classifying bodybuilding as a "Sport" opposed to a "hobby"
-
max..i didn't know you were a cricketer...where ya from?
Toxic… I honestly have never seen a game. We finance municipal projects such as energy projects, communications, Airports etc. The Airport project in Antigua has been presented to us for financing. Parliament has not yet approved the entire project yet but the purpose of the renovation in to host the World Cup. My research included reading about Antigua and its passion for cricket.

pretty sure the aussie government recognises bodybuilding as a sport through the ANBB which is a natural organisation.
the sports drug agency that does olympic athletes tests randomly and the results are on the government website.
i think these guys (the fed not the athletes) get some governement funding too but not sure...any auusies know?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (March 4) - A game of cricket is good for U.S.-Pakistani relations, but that's about as far as it goes. President Bush says baseball is where his heart is.
After a day of meetings, Bush rolled up his shirt sleeves Saturday afternoon and headed out to the lawn of the U.S. Embassy to play the baseball-like sport with Pakistani students.
He took his turn at bat after a few pointers from Shahryar Khan, chairman of Pakistan's Cricket Board, and Inzamam-ul-Haq, captain of Pakistan's Cricket Team.
Bush took three practice swings with the bat, which is flat on one side and humped on the other. He pretended to knock dirt from his shoes like a baseball player stepping up to the plate, then strode up to the wickets for a few swings.
The president connected with the first pitch, was hit in the shoulder by the second one, and sent a third ball sailing into a tree.
"Put something on that thing," Bush called out to the bowler, the equivalent of a pitcher in baseball. "Do I have my elbow right?"
Asked whether he liked this country's national pastime better than America's, the former owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team paused and cocked his head before answering. "I haven't quite got the skills yet," he said.
"I'm a big baseball fan," said Bush, who brought autographed baseballs for each of the students from the Islamabad College for Boys Cricket Clinic.
Last April, cricket played a central role as India and Pakistan tried to resolve their long-running dispute over Kashmir. Talks between Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh were squeezed around a Sunday cricket match in New Delhi between the two countries.

-

That's a fair point considering Pakistan's not even a real country - just a filthy backwater of Islamic scum and mutilation. Nevertheless, cricket is a great game usually played in glorious waether with a fantastic crowd atmosphere. Don't knock it until you understand it. As bodybuilding fans we are the last people in the world who can knock any sport with a straight face. Although I was seeing some of that curling bullshit during the Olympics and wondered what kind of drugs the TV execs were on to actually show it.
-
It's truly silly to criticize curling while saying that cricket's somehow better.
I lived in the west indies and am entirely familiar with just how boring it is! Now of course cricket fanatics will say otherwise, then again there are many from the same countries that think 0-0 scores in soccer games decided by silly penalty kicks are high drama. ::)
Paint drying tops most of the commonwealth's outdoor sports. Cricket's pacing and suspension of the time factor is so 1780's give or take a century of two. ;D

Toxic you're smoking crack if you think Imran was a better player than steve waugh. Don't even talk about mike gatting...
Waugh could bat with the best, was a supreme fielder and wasn't a bad bowler in the right situation either.
He led by example the best team in the modern game...

Calm down...Take a deep breath...And shut the hell up.
They were not judged on posing but on looks. That's why they added the "posing challenge round" in the 05 olympia...To put more emphasis on posing.

Now that there is a challenge round, bodybuilding is now a sport, even to Mr. Webster's.

I never said the challenge round meant anything obviously it didn't seeing as how gustavo won it and got 3rd in the contest
the the top 6 did it to win 50000
the posing routines and final posedown obviously mean something because Ronnie overtook jay after jay beat him in muscularity and symmetry

The "Final posedown" isn't judged in posing ability but on appearance. MEANING it can't be called a sport since they aren't physicall competing against eachother but competing against eachother with appearance which isn't a physical competition.
-
i like that... ;)
my appearance beats your appearance :P
what a fight

In 2004, Dex went from 3rd to 4th because of the challenge round, so don't ask Dex if that round mattered..

yes but the 3rd round is judged on posing
it has been proven numerous times that bodybuilders place higher with better routines and no I'm not talking about routines where they come out and dance and "entertain"
ronnie didn't all of a sudden have better muscularity and symmetry than jay a few hours later
it was close but since ronnie posed better he got the win

it has to be competitive and rubbing one out can't be compared to the physical exertion that it takes to flex every muscle simultaneously for long periods of time
