a long history but 150 years later the gentleman scheme is still stands where it all began so quick it hasn't got its launch pad yet. though i mean it's being played quite radically but. for a long time cricket is still trying to or stick it sneak out in china because other sports especially the olympic sports have kind of a predominantly. popular in china and where it has to you know that's it for the time being you're you do say if they can a back seat but from the as you sort out of port of the roughly 80000 people who are playing the sport in china of them about half are women why is it so popular amongst women. yes as you mentioned the figure 80000 people are really getting china at this at this point of time but i must tell you most of them have been playing it. very mature with professional quick if you still are not
