Seriously though, if I was to judge this based on how an average person would do thrown into one of these sports with six months of training.
Rugby (league/union) is not that challenging. It's demanding physically, but it's honestly not that challenging to play. If you can survive the physical side you would at least be able to have a small positive impact.
Tennis is crazy difficult to play at high level. On a par with cricket batting. No way you'd get anywhere near returning a 200kph serve.
Soccer is the easiest after the rugby codes. It requires endurance and ball handling skills, but the ball is relatively large and slow moving. You could at least act as a blocker and be a warm body on the field.
Cricket would be hard. You could catch but not bat or bowl to a reasonable standard. Bowling technique is something that basically has to be learned early in life. It's very hard for someone who hasn't been raised on the sport to coordinate it correctly. Batting against pace would be near impossible.
Baseball would be harder than cricket, though you could probably have a small positive impact in the field. You wouldn't pitch or hit to a reasonable standard. You might be able to milk a walk if the pitcher is incompetent.
Basically no sport would allow a regular person to walk into elite competition and have the slightest chance of being particularly useful. Everything happens too quickly, with too much force and requires years of training to be competent at.
