Is Cricket a good sport for fitness?
I find it one of the least physically intense sport. Is that true?
Yeah. Defintely not intense as some of the other games. If you’re fit it defintely helps to improve running between the wickets etc but can be without it as well.
Obviously, it's not as intense as tennis or marathon. It definitely depends on the grade you play. Higher the grade you play, Higher the skill and fitness you would require, and sustain it to stay in the game.
Cricket itself is not a great sport for fitness. But to play it at a competitive level, one needs to have excellent fitness. For that, professional cricketers do a lot work out and play other sports like soccer, basketball etc
It's more intensive than sitting on your ass all day. It's probably not going to get you shredded or raise your heart rate all that much.
Works great as an alternative to golf. Not as active as soccer or basketball.
Play the sport that you enjoy. That would be sustainable in the long term. Playing cricket is 100x better than not playing any sport.
I already play other sports and run marathons. My Indian friends pulled me into it, I like it but I don’t see much value in terms of fitness.
Least physically intense 😂 Either you have never played any sport or you cannot understand sports. May be pick up a ball, run and bowl at 100kmpt atleast (may take you a full year 🤭) and come back. Until then, your opinions are worthless.
Speak for yourself. I ran sub 2 hrs half-marathons, play soccer and basketball regularly. My Indian friends pulled me in cricket and I can say it’s not a sport that compares to any of the above.
Lol probably an indian trying hard to defend that shitty game called cricket. The audacity of this guy to even call that game a sport 😑
Yes it is not intense as football
Try fast bowling in cricket. Pretty sure you won't be saying that again
I did. Honestly it’s not much compared to soccer and basketball I play.
Imo Baseball and Cricket are at the same level. Tennis and soccer are the most intense
