CozMoz Questions Thread.

[scooterb]

thanx a ton but confused,
1)it is a mix but mostly india fo both born in australia and abroad?
2)why is it that sweeney research has 6 cricketers in the top 11?
3)you have said both afl and cricket, so one can say that they are tied?

1) I've found that lots of Indians who have come to Australia support Australia. I'm assuming that they came to Australia because they like it and now they want to support it. People with Indian backgrounds who are born here tend to support India. That's what I see within a few of my mates.

2) Because they are the most well known..? AFL players will only pull votes from Vic, SA and WA, while NFL players will only pull votes from NSW and QLD. Cricket is loved by everyone, everywhere, hence the popularity of it's players. There's hundreds, possibly over a thousand NRL and AFL players. With cricket, there's only 11 and they all tend to become cult figures, eg. Gilchrist, Warne, McGrath, Hussey, Lee...
There popularity increase may come with the dominance of the Aussie team.

3) I would say that AFL gets more media coverage. There's almost 200 games played in the whole year, and it's on every single week. There's always injury talks, trade talks, controversies...even more so than cricket. We have a lot of AFL talk shows, one which gets a lot of coverage, more so than others. Type in Sam Newman on youtube. You guys in Delhi have probably even heard of him.

2) Because Cricket is the most recognised around.
AFL - Get most exposure from Victoria, Sth Australia, and WA (with minor bits from NSW and QLD)
League - Gets its exposure from NSW and QLD (with ever improving VIC)
Cricket on the other hand, gets exposure 12 months of the year (due to overseas tours during our offseason) and in every part of Australia.

3) They are close, but so different. One gets Primary position during the Summer, the other takes over during the winter.

Oct > March is Cricket
April > September is Footy

1)who do people of indian origin who are living in aus, support in sport, those who are born in and outside aus?

it very much depends on the person, some support india others support australia. Theres no rule one way or the other

2)on a national scale overall, cricketers are as well known as sportstars from any other sport or not?

On a NATIONAL scale, the cricket team is the most well known. This is becasue half the country follows AFL and the other half follows Rugby. Because of this most rugby stars wouldn't be known in AFL states, and AFL players wouldn't be as well known in rugby states.

3)which is the sport that nationally overall gets the maximum coverage in the aussie media?

The national sport with the most coverage would be Cricket, especially during summer. During winter either the AFL or rugby depending on which state you're in.

1) A lot of the players who just retired such as Warne, McGrath and Gilcrist are huge in Australia. They are probably on par in the popularity stakes with the big Australian Hollywood actors and actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson (to an extent) and Eric Bana. Brett Lee and Andrew Symonds are probably the only current Australian players who are up there with the Hollywood actors. The others are much less known. If I was to ring up my mum and ask her who Mitchell Johnson was, she'd have no idea.
