The quintessential English game of Cricket that Brits have been playing for about 700 years is considered by non-aficionados (i.e. most of the World) as being very straight and very boring. They are right.  There are only two openly gay professional cricketers in the World, and one of them is a lesbian, and there is still only one gay cricket team too. Somehow it lacks the allure that rugby has for gay men which is really growing in popularity with both the number of teams and players now increasing all the time.  Maybe its the idea that it is much more of a (very close) contact sport that is the attraction, but maybe if there were more team players like the hot redheaded totally heterosexual Ben Stokes who bats for England, then Cricket could be the next big thing for us to follow.  Shallow maybe, but true.
