Cricket

Cricket is a silly game anyway, so we shouldn't be too down-hearted.

I think we should invent another equally silly game, that no-one else yet plays, so we can be good at something again for a while. It worked for a while with tennis, golf, rugby (x2), football, cricket…….. Surely we’ve got it in us to invent another one?

Just make sure it's something we have to sit down to play - we're normally good at those sports.

I think the answer is to just create a game no-one else in the world will ever have any interest in.

I realise that will be almost impossible for us Brits but the Americans should be able to help us.

We need something that requires lots of crap weather and no training facilities to be able to be good at it.

And, obviously, the Aussies could help too.

And the Irish.

Pub Crawl Cup, surely us Brits would win that no worries, and if in the unlikely event it is a draw it can be settled in a mixed keebab off.

You forgot Badminton which I believe originated in Portsmouth or a local club was on of the first to promote it.

and I do believe we still are world champions at "Real" Tennis as played on Hayling Island

Surely Badminton originated at Badminton House?

EDIT:-

According to Wiki, although it was named after Badminton House, and was originally played in Imperial India, the official rules were launched at 6, Waverley Grove, Southsea.

How about:-

o Queueing in the correct manner.
o Complaining about the weather.
o Apologising.

No other nation would stand a chance, nor could they ever learn those things to the degree required to beat us.

We used to be the World Champions at Tiddley Winks a few years back - if they haven't done it again, surely that still stands.
