You have a point but it depends on the geography of the sport. Badminton is dominated by the far east and a few other countries such as Denmark, whereas squash is dominated by the Commonwealth countries and France. I'm sure if squash became popular in the far east we would quickly see a rise in the rankings of the Chinese for example.

Please get your facts right
Squash was dominated by the far east, but now it is dominated by the commonwealth.

What's being before Madonna got to do with it?

And with that, which one do you mean there is around a 2000 year gap between the two!

What funny women you two are.

Coments like that mean one thing jealously, don't worry about being second best, improvements can be made but those improvements will never make you better than second, honestly i do believe that you will have a better way of living if you take a up being comedians rather than players a second rate sport like badders.

I can't really see the point of comparing two different sports. They're different, there isn't a superior and there is no pride "dis-ing" another sport. So what IF one is superior to the other? It means nothing if you truly enjoy the sport.

My belief is that truth sportsmen are not just about ability but also his/her etiquette. If you start comparing squash and badminton, then why not include other Brit-dominant sports like snooker (and don’t go on about snooker not being a proper sport)?

Sit down and weep? Are you kidding? :confused:

When I was young my dad and mom taught me this:

1 when you are the winner, you should try to improve and get better to keep the place

2 when you are outperformed by someones, you should try to improve and get their places
