Which SPORT are you best at?

After a pretty ignominious attempt at football I briefly tried rugby and American Football but can't really say I excelled at any of them.

Pub games however - bar billiards and pool were average to good.

Used to be Bowls - represented Sussex at Under 25 level until i took a break from the game; helped reach 2 national finals in two years (winning one). Could probably hold my own in a game still but i'd need a few roll ups to get my eye in. I was ok at Cricket - left arm medium-fast bowler and terrible batsman. Best bowling figures are 4.2/1/2/4
Other than that, I haven't done much competitively - a bit of football at school and for my work against other stores and am alright at bar games like Darts or Pool but little else.

I love watching/playing sports, I'm just not that good at them.

Was OK at cricket and rugby. Was a good middle-distance and cross country runner at school but didn't take it beyond that. Only really played pub level football, so definitely not that.

I was a very good bridge player in my day though: played several tournaments and sat in the company of internationals. Even briefly thought about coming professional ... before common sense took over. Still play for fun

Golf now, 8.2 hc but recently played beach volleyball ( masters age group :-( ) during lunch hour. Great fun, had to stop as work moved.

I think the defining thing about sport is that you can measure just how good (or in my case, bad) you are. You can bullshit your way in business (an even - here's a surprise - politics) but in sport you'll get (or sink) to where you should be. Take cricket: you might get lucky and take a few wickets with flighted filth but ultimately you'll be found out and find your right level. I have no doubt that I've been 'ordinary' (at best) at every sport I've played. About the only thing I've ever been 'good' at is running and I didn't discover this until my mid 30s.

On my October trip to America I experienced my first game of basketball. It certainly uses a lot of skills that I had never used before. Dribbling a basketball and looking up (similar to moving up the pitch with a football but the skill is all with the hands) and shooting the basketball with the hands from a good distance from the basket. Anyone else enjoyed the sport of basketball recently? The secret is not to play against people taller than you.
