Shifts the arguement ? Are you crazy ?
I started this thread that cricket has benefited from the involvement of Australian Football and you cannot agree .
It's a very simple statement , a very obvious statement and you cannot find it in youself to agree .There's no degree or comparison to worry about - so it's a straight forward question .
Speak to vetran members of these clubs and most will say that AFL is a parrisite they would like to pull from their grounds, along with one day and 20/20 cricket.

Im getting so sick of these arguments
So I take it you don't believe cricket has benefited from the involvment of Australian Football ?

He's not making that point. The point is more about narrow minded people with complexes about their sport.

This whole thread is a continuation from the Western Sydney thread when I refused to state that without Australian Rules Football the WACA, SACA and the MCG would not be like they are today.
Now you are altering your argument to try and credit that Australian Rules Football has helped out cricket more than the other way round.
I suggest you read histories that allowed Australian Rules football onto these cricket grounds that allowed the sport to flourish. But, I doubt you will...

The only altering I have down is to simplify the statement to it's most basic unambiguous "cricket has benefited from the involvement of Australian Football " .
Mate, what you are referring to? The quality of the grounds, the winter tenants, the inception of Aussie-Rules as a way to keep cricketers fit during winter, or the actual game of cricket???
That's the ambiguous part.
Also, if you read up on some history, you will find that in the early days of Australian Football, they were playing on whatever unused cricket grounds they could find (eg: East Melb. Cricket ground). They had to fight to get to play on the cricket pitches of the MCG and other grounds around Australia.
That's what I think that Egan is referring to.
Australian Football itself has benefited from input from many other sports.
