Has to be AFL, altho i love my League..

I don't know how it's played in other countries, but in the NBA or even in College and High School level of the game in the US, defense is as important as offense, and if you seriously think that defensive skills arent involved and how much defense you have to play, you probably haven't played it a lot with people that are good.

From the list, handball. Could at least have had the decency to list "winter sports", tho (for the one Northern vote).
Opinion on the listed sports:
Basketball: struggle to see the defensive skills involved
But anyway, its Basketball for me...love it as much as Cricket

I voted for basketball. It is the sport I have 2nd most fun playing, but I'd prefer to watch a rugby league game.

Football, with Handball a close 2nd, got no idea why i like Handball, maybe something to do with Norway Women's National team...

After cricket, it's AFL, then football/soccer for me.
Aside from those, I also like and occasionally watch boxing, union, cycling, snooker and tennis. Mostly only if there's a major event on, though. I get the feeling if I was American I'd like baseball, but I've never been able to get into it much over here.
My least favourites on the list are rugby league and golf, though motor sports would top the list if it was there.

Union for me at the moment
My opinions on the other sports
Football: not enough goals and too much diving for me to get into it
Rugby league: Scrums are pointless and noone seems to know how to tackle
Golf: cant watch it, can play it for a while but then get annoyed at my inability to hit the ball well consistently
Aussie rules: Getting into it more these days, dont fully understand all the rules. players dont seem to be able to take the ball cleanly very often
Field hockey: good game to watch when its on TV, very hard game to play, i have tried it a couple of times and its really tiring.
Ice hockey: doesn't get alot of coverage in Australia but i do enjoy watching it
Tennis: love playing it and watching it
Badminton: played it a few times, didn't like the Shuttlecock or the raquets much
Boxing: stupid sport, good for fitness though
Volleyball: boring
Beach volleyball: i watched in in the Olympics when Australia was playing, seen it a couple of times since and it was boring
Athletics: yawn
Wrestling: yawn
Swimming: watch it whan its on TV and Australia is racing, not really into it though
Darts: i cant believe people watch it on TV, good pub game.
Baseball: hate almost everything about it
Basketball: ok to watch occasionally, would probably get into it if i watched it more often. gets abit boring
Netball: enjoy watching, particularly the ever closely fought Aus - NZ games.
Handball: never really watched it, would like to see more of it
Cycling: great to watch, very hard to do, those guys are incredible!
Gaelic: never seen it.

It's really a matter of taste. Tiger Woods may be a master at his game, but if you have no interest in golf, it isn't going to change your perception.Dravid said:
