Detonator Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Australian 'rules' football. Becoz, it's rugby+football on a stadium sized cricket pitch + beating the crap out of the opponents. And it's the religion in Australia much like cricket here. Onion sums it up.

Cricketics Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 16 hours ago, Muloghonto said: I don't know how they do it, but football (as in gridiron) is easily the best officiated sport. Whether its NFL or CFL, its mind boggling how referee decisions are correct 99.99% times. At first, i used to think 'its because they don't mind stoppages & review every whistle if they have to) but then i started to see more football ( followed Seattle's first cup run season) and its stunning how refs get 99% calls correct on-field. This is hockey's big weakness: its officiating is so inconsistent. What is a 'play on' in one instance, exactly same player, same play 3 days later is 'OMG! DOUBLE MINOR. 4 MIN IN THE BOX FOR SURE!'. Like...go figure. Basketball, i just can't get into. Seems too boring with 3-4 plays being done successfully every 2 minutes for the whole game. IMO,its hard not to notice how North American franchises are so much better than cricket boards at developing talent. Its like some cricket boards (especially BCCI) are like ' miners, looking for gold ' mentality. 'Prakriti jo deti haye, use dhoondo, aur istemal karo'. Whereas North American franchises have a 'jewellers mentality, who will GIVE you diamonds as you need them and shine even a glass to be as lustrous as a diamond' sometimes. The amount of foresight, investment, etc. in talent development & team selections being ruthlessly value-oriented, is just lacking in cricket. To me, that is cricket's biggest downfall. Even ECB or CA are nitwits compared to practically any franchise. If you give time, basketball could be really fun to watch. It is a really fast paced game, especially the NBA level. You need to watch Golden State vs Cleveland, the new on going rivalry to see what level these guys play at. You looking at the best 3 point shooter in Steph Curry vs one of the greatest in Lebron. They played a great 7 match final series last year which went down the fire and then recently played a a brilliant game on Thanksgiving Day.

Watch the 50s-1:30m mark 'Sedinery': (This is what happens when skilled twins play hockey) Or you can look at OVI, one of the greats of the game to have not won the Stanley Cup.
cowboysfan Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Test cricket is the ultimate , nothing tests your mental and physical skills.

Singh bling Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Any sport that gives you entertainment to its viewers is good
wtachetna Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Other than cricket, my favorite is Table tennis. I think it is my favorite because I used to play this sports game a lot when I was a kid. I used to be a topper. In tournament I held the first place, beating 10 people who were really good in the game.
