Rugby, but I don't dislike that much either. I'll watch if England are playing

I'm pretty liberal when it comes to sports.  8)

Blatantly cricket.  I'm not a big fan of rugby but it's a reasonable sport to play and not bad to watch, plus it's a sport England are good at - supposedly, we won something didn't we  :P

I know little about the professional sides of either, but definitely prefer watching rugby.  Plus there's only one Johnny Wilko *cough* sicknote *cough*  :beers:

I don't mind watching or playing either, although I've never sat and watched more than half an hour of cricket at once.

Prefer rugger out of the two though.

Cricket.

At least the egg chasers put enough effort in to get their knees dirty.

Cricket is the essence of our nation......haters need to have a long hard look at themselves and consider moving to mainland Europe or North America.

I used to be the biggest cricket hater ever.

Every year when I was a kid, my brother used to spend half the summer holidays patiently explaining the rules to me.  Every year without fail I would glaze over and forget what he'd told me within seconds.

20+ years later he took me to my 1st cricket match and it was one of the best days of my life :D

Cricket rocks.  I love it even if they don't wear shorts.  I never thought I would ever say that.

Cricket haters should go to a test match you will love it. 8)

This is not a fiar question, but I think I'll say rugby is worse, because I occassionally watch cricket live, and probably watch more of it on tv than I do rugby.  Having said that I was always much better at rugby than cricket.

I don't hate cricket just don't like it. It's quite good to play for a laugh with your mates though

Well cricket can be alright to watch if it's a particularly interesting game, the last interesting one would probably be the last game against South Africa in January, not really interested in county cricket though.

Rugby I find a bit dull to watch, they wanted me to take up playing it as I'm very fast and aggressive which helps I think but I decided to stick with football as the guy who ran the team was a tosser. So I'm going to say rugby.

I really don't understand rugby at all, so on that basis alone I voted for it.

Is there any way we can add tennis to the poll? I can't vote negatively against cricket or rugby.
The fact that I have to travel to Gloucester to catch a decent match in either discipline annoys me a little bit.
Go on then, I'll vote for Rugby because it hurt more when I used to play it at school.
