What sports do you/play? I do Cross-Country and Track. I do long jump, high jump, 200 meter dash and sometimes the 200 meter relay for events in Track.

I used to play football (soccer), until I injured both knees in the same tackle. Nowadays, I play pool a lot

Played for the college soccer, cricket and Field hockey teams and of course Long-distance (5000 metres).

Indoors, its Monopoly, chess and Pool (note to SG: we agree finally!)
Of the lot, CRICKET rules.....

Back in the good old days all my spare time was taken up with sport...athletics, swimming, hockey, netball, tennis and the occasional game of footie with the lads, of course. I loved it all!!

The only thing I regret never having the chance to have a go at was pole vault, us mere girlies weren't allowed to try such dangerous activities.

I wonder if it's too late to give it a whirl!!

You have waaaaaay to much much energy Ashi.

I played rugby league for 16 years and have played union for 14. Throw into the mix some squash, netball, cricket and darts.

Football (Association), Rugby (Union), Gymnastics, Basketball (despite my height I obtained a coaching qualification),Table Tennis, Tennis and just about anything else going in my youth except Running!. Mid 20's to 40's only one sport mattered Cricket. Now I only play Ten Pin Bowling competitively (league)I've been bowling for about 40 years and can hold my own and beat the youngsters (Not great but League Average of 160 - high score of 245).

Forgot the Darts, Skittles, Dominoes, Cribbage and finally
I play (and set) Quizzes - League Champions 2003 (for the 7th year running - brag brag brag!)

Darts I can play to a certain extent. I have never had a 180, but I can hit the 100's regularly. Maybe I bottle it when it comes to the last throw

Forgot to add (just for ace), my cousin played for England in the pool world championships. My family are all good pool players. Never knew why it runs that way...but maybe that's another question

I don't know why I play pool but it must be the age - as I grow older, I am becoming more and more lazy....
Of course, the offical reason is injuries (read mental depression after losing) have forced me to quit the more "running" around sports (Exactly the reason why I love cricket).

Note: I am seriously considering a professonal career in "Book Cricket".

Another 'He-man' here. There is nothing quite so energetic as a tough game of Scrabble or pool. I played competition pub darts for many years, but like SG I never got a 180- my best was a 171, and a lot of 140s...

I tried a lot of sports when I was younger, and am about as coordinated as a drunken octopus, so I invested in a comfy chair and watched other people do all the running around

Ace, if I want to go 5000 metres, I drive...

Sports, as in plural?
You mean there are others apart from cricket??!!

I have no idea what the heck Cricket is! I'm from America and I have never in my life heard of Cricket. Yes, I do have way too much energy, that's why I do sports!

Please don't be impatient ; we haven't introduced it in Saturn yet.
We are having problems keeping an Aussie team under control

Saturn, America.
Hmm. Must be the 51st state.

I tried martial arts for a while, but I didn't really take it very seriously
...I just did it for kicks.

Saturn, USA.
Hmmm. Has a nice 'ring' to it.

I am into sports that involve animals. Sheep Dog Trials - I am the sheep dog (rounding up children and getting them all into one spot at the same time and keeping them there). My next sport I love is to do with emus. The Emu Parade, picking up everyone else's belongings, that they seem to know nothing about!

Isn't cricket a cheap imitation of American baseball or something. No self-respecting American sport would contain a "googly" whatever the heck that is.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around

Well, Die Hard, I wanted to make a snide remark on the same lines about baseball; but then my knowledge of baseball is limited to Torri, Jeter (or is it Peter)and the Yankees.

Personally I believe Baseball is a fine game - after all any cricketer (of decent skill) would dearly love to get knee length 'Full tosses' thrown at them.

Which sport has the largest viewership in a World Cup match? - Baseball or Cricket?

Assumptions

Here I made the following assumptions:
1) Baseball is played in a country outside the U.S of A.
2) These countries get together, after a fixed period of time, to compete against each other in a 'big event'.

End of Assumptions

Does baseball allow you to get a decent nap between or during the game?

(Thank God Die Hard hasn't heard of 'Chinaman', 'Mankading', 'Bosies' and of course certain other terms which are best NOT said here )
____________________________________________________________
Wait I am wrong - isn't Baseball the game where some guys try to put a ball in a hole (that is way too high for me?)

Now Diehard you know that baseball is a copy of our ladies game of Rounders and you know that you also have silly expressions for sports -

What sport allows you to take in the outdoors and is played with a bar within about 20 metres, to allow you to buy a beer every 5 minutes or so?

---

Kevin, why do you want to walk 20 metres to get a beer? Cricket stadiums have a bar right in the stadium. (and quite surprising that 'quote' was made by an Aussie - surely you haven't been to the whack her stadium, have you?)
And them again which sport allows you to stay in the bar rather than the ground?
If you are slouched (?), then you could always blame your poor performance on the Field to 'poor form' or the 'Pitch' or the 'bumpy outfield'. (well, there are 365 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 excuses that are available for to a player any time)

"World" Series

sorry, World Series doesn't meet the criteria no 1 (that it is played outside the U.S of A).
Sorrrryy, Canada doesn't count.. (the 51st State Amendment)
