We all know that cricket became massive in India and South Asia generally, presumably a ‘gift’ from British colonisation. I would think football was also big in Britain at that time as well, and yet South Asia seems to be the part of the world least interested in football. Why is that? Why did cricket become popular while football seemed to make almost no impression? To what extent was class a factor (if so, why didn’t rugby union take off?)

We have XTX coming up Monday (AU/NZ). I can’t remember if it’s weights or cardio or both?
