Cricket, Aussie Rules and Rugby League are comfortably the three most popular sports in Australia. Australia has numerous sports all with quite a bit of popularity and various strengths. Across the KPIs, cricket is up there.
I back it up.

How is it a minority sport?
It is one of the best attended, most watched on tv with one of the most lucrative tv contracts in Australia, has high participation numbers and one of the most culturally significant.
The idea that is a minority sport is laughable, said by someone who admits to never going there.
What is the majority sport there?
It’s not the majority sport.
Football is in terms of participation.

The hilarity of you calling people West Brits when you go to bat for your beloved association football is hilarious.
Anyone who has been to Australia will tell you that cricket is one of the most popular sports in Australia, by every conceivable KPI.

That is where it is interesting in the US.
American football is the clear most popular sport, but participation wouldn’t necessarily reflect that. It is far easier to player soccer, basketball or even softball. But in high schools the best athletes will gravitate towards American football and basketball, with the former being the sport of choice for most imo.
Attendances wouldn’t reflect that either, as American football has such limited schedules.
Soccer has big participation numbers, but often the duds and Mexican immigrants.
You said it was a minority sport.
What is the majority sport?
There is no sport with over 50% participation or attendances, or viewers.
