Cricket, like all other games, is merely a game. It is neither a 'gentlemans' game, or any other specific gender or class of game. It is a game. Any other meaning or limitation you give it is based on your particular cultural outlook. Couldn't you have figured this out on your own?

You may still call it a gentleman's game if you change the meaning of gentleman. How can you call the players like Gibbs, Pointing, and Akhatar gentlemen? Cricket was a gentleman's game for a very long time but the times have changed and now it's no longer even a "game" It's all about MONEY.

It is supposed to be.This is the only game in the world in which the opponents clap when a batsman gets dismissed after playing a fighting innings and walks back towards the pavilion.In no other game the captain of the fielding side calls back a batsman who is given out by the umpire erroneously.

It used to be, as did most games of this type. But nowadays, more middle-class people are playing. And, as far as gentle "men", I have a girlfriend who is judge in a cricket league in Scotland.
