What are some good POM sports to try?

[pavel]

now that England finished level on points with international powerhouse Iran, what will their supporters do with their time?

Rugby? Cricket? Wimbledon? Wobblies? Pip-Pip-Peroo? Help me find @chibob something else to talk about so he can feel involved in sport...

Well it's Cricket season now.

Might not want to mention the 5-0 beat down that was England's last tour of Australia.

I fucking love test cricket. The fantastic thing about test cricket is that you can miss large chunks of the game and just pick it up again with absolutely no hitch at any point in the 5 DAYS that it takes to play. It fits so well with the summer. LBW rule with the pitching in line/out of line is tricky to get, but the rest is easy. Best team to support is England, simply because the home schedule is daytimes in northern hemisphere summer time (across the weekends too). You can have a bbq or party and just leave the game on in the background, and the BBC sports radio coverage is like listening to something from the 1930s. I couldn't live without it.

It doesn't matter when you lose that much in test cricket either. It's the only sport that you analyse the performance with a 5 year perspective.

OOH. DARTS. I don't just watch it on the telly but usually go up to Ally Pally too to watch it live at Christmas most years. It's televised ridiculousness.

Great, I have the darts song in my head now.

It's such a massive shame that Sid Waddell is dead. He was the best commentator to ever commentate for any sport EVER :

Rugby. Good sport. World Cup for that is next year. Recommended by @Hachiko because Japan is in it.

...and will probably do about as well as they've done in the FIFA World Cup.

You never know. Japan is just as good as the United States at rugby, ftr.

You forgot about snooker.

You forgot about snooker.

Ah yes, a sport that the Philippines are good in, like boxing and basketball.
