Rugby League. Only sport that has made me cry (as a spectator).

Opinion on the listed sports:

Basketball: struggle to see the defensive skills involved
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. No offence


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.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

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.
