Pointless thread which will be ridiculed but with recent improvements in tennis and basketball, I thought it would be interesting to rank sports according to how good Australia is at them, compared to the rest of the world. This isn't a ranking according to the popularity of the sport in Australia or the number of kids playing them. Some of it will be unquantifiable but you can guesstimate. And the sport has to be played at international level. Obviously I'll forget heaps of sports, so just add them.

New criteria. The sport must be played at Summer/Winter Olympics or have a huge place in Commonwealth sporting tradition and be very popular (cricket and rugby).

1) Cricket
2) Hockey
3) Rugby Union
4) Basketball
5) Swimming
6) Golf
7) Tennis
8) Canoeing (otherwise known as Kayaking)
9) Water Polo
10) Rowing
11) Triathlon
12) Volleyball
13) Cycling (track and road)
14) Football
15) Aths
16) Equestrian
17) Snow sports
18) Ice hockey
