And they are?

[Facts and Stats]

I am always amazed (and impressed) how NZ in partcular and then Aus do so well at sport in general with the small population compared to other countries.

Netball, Cricket and Rugby being prime examples

Especially when we read how there is no support and costs are too high etc?

The lottery transformed the UK sporting and arts sectors

Cricket is not expensive to play here

yes, i didnt put it well, it was a generalisation re expensive to play. some sports are cheap, some arent. AFL funds a lot of stuff, does cricket Australia?

I think Australia punches below its weight

it has half the population of England, it should be competitive against England in most sports however in Rugby and Football it is quite poor. Not many nations take Rugby seriously either, and even South Africa its only popular among whites who are less than 10% of the population there.

One major sport Australia is better than England is basketball.

MH can argue all he wants that its not worth his time, but there's no doubt its a major sport.

Whingeing - not really a sport but you master it time and time again.

[Facts and Stats]

I struggle with fishing - as in who is better, this forum has a few top quality entrants from both sides, I think England are winning at that one too, but it's not clear cut.

And cricket

Basketball is clearly not worthwhile.

Cricket. Nice try at fishing. Far too obvious.

As I said, your fishing is too obvious. Cricket

Name the sport and I'll tell you if it's worthwhile. There is no definitve list. The whole point is that I may have missed one.
