Australian cricket has been warned it may not be the grassroots participation powerhouse it thinks it is, via the release of the most comprehensive national survey yet of sport down under.The Australian Sports Commissions inaugural AusPlay survey, released on Thursday, contradicted Cricket Australias own assertion that the game is the No. 1 participation sport in the country, and by quite a margin. A more accurate description, according to the ASCs figures, would be to place it in mid-table.While CAs own Australian Cricket Census had stated that the game can point to 1.31 million total participants, the ASC survey delivered a far lower tally - 562,669 combined senior and junior club sport participants, placing cricket sixth out of the top 10 sports.It was well behind soccers 1,086,986 club participants, and also returned inferior figures to golf, AFL, netball and tennis. Ironically, the surveys results were announced in a media event at the SCG on Thursday, with soccers top brass trumpeting the outcome. CAs executive and directors were preoccupied with a board meeting at the games Jolimont headquarters.CAs own participation figures are weighted to include the school-age Milo Into Cricket and Twenty20 Blast programs, with high female participation and increased engagement by diverse Australian communities cited as notable positives in recent years.However the CA chief executive James Sutherland has admitted previously that there is a need to ensure more junior participants graduate to club teams and a more formal relationship with the game. Interestingly, CAs own club participation figure for this year was 454,657 - lower than the ASCs.Its a lot about that experience and about creating a positive learning environment and a fun environment for kids to play the sport, Sutherland had said in August when CAs figures were released. I think thats where the T20 Blast has allowed kids to bridge between entry level programs and playing what some people might call real cricket.Weve seen success but also sustained participation through into the teenage years. Very pleasing in these results to see growth in that area for the first time in a couple of years.Most major Australian sports have tended to downplay each others participation figures, arguing either that the numbers are too generously weighted towards junior programs or that the figures are gleaned through processes that are not sufficiently independent. The AusPlay survey has been designed to provide a more definitive picture.The Australian Governments investment in AusPlay means we will now have a deeper understanding of the sport and physical activity behaviours of our nation, the ASC chairman John Wylie said. The AusPlay survey will report every six months and provide up-to-date information about trends in sport and physical activity participation that will guide key decisions in this area.Responding to the release of the survey, a CA spokesperson said: The AusPlay survey fills a major gap in national sport and recreation data. We welcome the contribution this data will make to drive the ambition we share with the Government to increase participation. We welcome that the survey again affirms Crickets place in the top tier of Australias leading participation sports and look forward to using the insights it provides to further grow Cricket participation.However, it is important to note that school participation is presently omitted from the survey report. School participation is one of the key pillars of our participation framework and an area where Cricket has been enormously successful in recent years. We would welcome the inclusion of school participation in future AusPlay surveys to ensure it reflects an even broader participation footprint.

Mike Gesicki Womens Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. CHICAGO -- Carson Wentz took some hard hits, showed poise in the pocket and led the Philadelphia Eagles to another victory.Theyre about to find out how they stack up against a playoff contender. But theyre doing just fine so far.Wentz followed up an impressive NFL debut with another solid performance, throwing for 190 yards and a touchdown, and the Eagles beat the Chicago Bears 29-14 on Monday night.It was a cool stage, Monday Night Football, Wentz said. Everythings sweet. But again, it was a football game and we came out with a win.The No. 2 overall pick, Wentz is delivering as advertised so far for the Eagles (2-0).He followed up a strong performance against Cleveland by completing 21 of 34 passes and playing turnover-free ball for the second straight game.But its one thing to do it against the rebuilding Browns and Bears. The schedule gets a little tougher next week when the Eagles host the Pittsburgh Steelers.The Bears, meanwhile, are in danger of seeing their season slip away. Not only did they follow up a season-opening loss at Houston with a dismal performance, they lost quarterback Jay Cutler to a right thumb injury.With that in mind, here are some takeaways from the game.HELPING WENTZThe Eagles arent getting much from their run game, but their defense sure is chipping in.After holding Cleveland to 10 points, that group gave up only one of Chicagos two touchdowns.Theyre playing well together as a team, coach Doug Pederson said. The communication is great. The defensive line is rolling off the ball, getting pressure, making the (opposing) quarterback move off one spot, having to relocate his feet, putting the quarterback in different throwing positions.Then the back end is doing a really nice job in coverage. Theyre just playing together as a unit.AT QUARTERBACKThe Bears lost the game and they lost their quarterback. If Cutler is not available, Brian Hoyer figures to start at Dallas next week.Cutler was seen having his right hand examined on the sideline early in the third following a strip-sack by Destiny Vaeao, though he said it happened sometime earlier in the game.dddddddddddd That play just aggravated it.As if the injury wasnt enough, he also got an earful from injured linebacker Pernell McPhee after an interception late in the third quarter. The two had words after a pass got picked off by Philadelphias Nigel Bradham. Cutler walked to the locker room and did not return.NO GROUND GAINSThe Bears are being hurt offensively by the lack of a running game, whether its because of poor blocking with a line that has just come together or a lack of execution.Their running backs had just 55 yards on 17 carries after going for 61 on 18 attempts in a season-opening loss at Houston.I mean, nothing has gotten going like we planned to, Cutler said. That falls on me. That falls on the rest of the offense. So weve got to take a look at it and whatever is bothering us on offense weve got to get it fixed.TAKE IT AWAYThe Eagles won the turnover battle 3-0, including two fumble recoveries. Bradham helped seal the win with his interception and return to the Chicago 2 right after Philadelphia scored.But another big one came on the strip-sack by undrafted free agent Destiny Vaeao that teammate Connor Barwin said turned the game. The takeaway came with the Bears on the Philadelphia 43.ON THE BRIGHT SIDE?As bad as the Bears have looked so far, things could be worse. Just ask Fox.Well, not as tough as last year because we were 0-3, he said.The Bears dropped home games to Green Bay and Arizona and got shut out at Seattle before beating Oakland at home. That was their lone victory at Soldier Field last season.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale NFL White Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys From China ' ' '
