If you go to the New Feature Tracker there are currently 2 suggestions involving moving these two sports out of Misc. Sports and to their own catagories. The interest and expansion of these sports has been exponential the last few years. By moving these sports to their own catagories it would help immensley with team linking. Currently when checklists are posted the international names of teams "New Zealand, Australia, England etc...) can randomly be linked to the wrong team by the system. For example "New Zealand" can be linked to Rugby, Cricket, Soccer, International etc.. and then extensive work is needed to parce these out to the correct "New Zealand." The problem can get larger with cards from countries such as the US and Canada when you throw in baseball, hockey, and basketball for example. I ask that you consider this change and rank accordingly in the New Feature Tracker. Thank you....Ryan

Certainly looks like there are more cricket, rugby and Aussie rules releases than there are boxing or tennis sets for recent years. According to stats there are about 160 000 misc sports cards listed. If even 10% of those are of one sport it would be more than boxing which has 10 000.

I don't collect either sport. With that said I have seen the influx of collectors of those 2 sports on here. I've thrown my support into creating new categories for them. 

I'm one of them. I have around 60,000 cards in Misc. Sports from rugby, cricket and Aussie Rules and it would be nice to know the breakdown of my collection. I've noticed the issue with linking national teams across sport too and it's a bit of a pain. Like rmpaq5 mentioned if you go to the new site suggestions you can vote for these changes.

I agree that these in particular certainly deserve consideration for separate categories. Even though I have other items in the tracker that I have suggested and are more important to me, I will bump these up my list to help. I did just spend quite a bit of time this past week fixing a bunch of teams that wound up going to the wrong TID.

And to make it easier for you to "upvote" these (or downvote, if you're so inclined), here are the links:

I put them at the top of my list also.

I put 'em at the top of my list as well.

We have some surprisingly passionate Aussie collectors on here and that is awesome!! I visited the country a few years ago and grabbed my first ever packs of Cricket and AFL and have since obtained some nice singles and even uploaded a checklist on here. I vote for separating the sports on here, only makes tcdb a bigger international draw and that doesn't hurt! 

Great work legends. Thanks.
