The civilising effect of cricket

The Telegraph reports that:

"Researchers from Loughborough University found that children with a history of disruption and truancy acted in a more “sportsman-like manner” after being exposed to the game for just a few hours.

The university, which analysed the results of a three-year schools programme run by the Cricket Foundation charity, said pupils displayed better social skills and teamwork compared with those taking part in normal PE lessons."

Civilising children! I expect this Labour government to ban cricket at any moment, why if children are civilised they make actually realise the paucity of the value of the education they are receiving.
