I have never really given badmitton a real go....It looks so boring...Is it fun?
Keeps you so fit.. Its an intense and incredibly good game to play. You need even quicker reflexes than you do for facing a quick bowler on a rubbish wicket..
One of the few games left that seems to be played in the spirit all sports were intended to be..

Personally I rate it more highly than cricket, although it isn't as popular globally..

I can't separate cricket and hockey for enjoyment in playing. For pure consistency of enjoyment hockey ranks 1st (I've only ever played one game that I didn't enjoy) but there's nothing quite as satisfying as smacking a ball to the boundary.

I've never actually played badminton and table tennis for a club or anything but I really like playing them and they suit my abilities. Instead I was dragged into tennis, which I don't think suits me as much, and as a result didn't really get the same enjoyment out of it as I have from hockey.

no, cause u need skill to play table tennis...
But to play ausie rules you have to have a face which is remotely look-at-able, and an iq larger than a 3 year olds shoe size.... which excludes 99% (which is 99 times 1 for leaguers) of NRL fans/supporters.

HaHa. That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. At least you are finally saying what everyone thinks - AFL is a game for 'pretty-boys'. It must take a large IQ to jump, kick and punch, which is pretty much all that happens in AFL.

I meant - as in that thing they do with the ball, it's not called a pass, because that requires skill, it is a something, can't remember what its called...
