Not enough cricket in this thread.
I'm a left hand opening bat (occasionally relegated to 5-6) and part time slow left-arm chinaman. I field often at short cover.

Cricket: Made it up as I went along. I was pretty awesome with a tennis ball when playing with my mates at the end of our road, but at school with a cricket ball against those same friends I would very quickly became a distinctly average bowler. Basically I could play shots alright, but didn't have the muscle or experience to combat the pace and weight of a proper cricket ball with any real power.Originally Posted by Old Manus
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I quickly discovered at secondary school that I am very good at hitting things with sticks, but I never played any sticky games competitively.
I played soccer on a team from when I was 4 years old until I graduated high school. I tried to get involved in college, but anytime I was going to try to meet the coach to practice with the team and try out, he had to cancel on me. In the end, I just decided not to bother and focus on my studies instead.
I played every position pretty near equally. The only position I tried hard to get out of was defense because I never felt I was very good at it. My dad was my coach, and he actually played semi-professionally in Brazil when he was younger. I also had a lot of training with professional players simply because I was friends with most of the professional indoor soccer team and some of the outdoor team in Kansas City. Anyways, I was best at goalkeeper, and that's primarily where I played throughout high school. I would generally score at least one goal the few times I played offense, too. I miss soccer.
Track & Field
I was a sprinter. I was too lazy to do anything that involved strategy and teamwork, but I would have made a damn good basketball player.
Good enough for EoFF CC! With you we have four players (and we'd still beat Australia)!

Like most kids I expect, we also had this game, or thereabouts. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but our "rules" were freeform and it was usually a case of free-for-all but you passed it off so you didn't get smurfing hammered.
I never played cricket proper-like but I could spin bowl okay and I could probably fast bowl if I tried. Obviously this is like school lunch time grade and so I could probably captain Australia to the next Ashes loss.
As far as team sports go...
In football I played anywhere in the forwards or mids.
In cricket I was a fast bowler but not so flash on the batting.
In rugby I played on the wings.
In indoor netball I played as A.
We totally had this game too, only instead of a tennis ball it was a football, and as soon as you got the ball you had to punt it in the air and try to get it back straight away. It was a great honour to get to kick the ball without having it nicked before you were able. We'd have like 35 kids all mauling each other for the privilege.Like most kids I expect, we also had this game, or thereabouts.

All-star beater in quidditch.
Also lolsports.
In football I'll play anything, but if it's for positions then I would get assigned to either left defense or mid field. I'm not a good forward or goalie, but I like running so playing mid is my favorite position.
In rugby union, i was a blindside flanker/breakaway.
In rugby league, I was a centre or winger. I would also occasionally come off the bench as a replacement hooker/dummy-half in lower grades.
In volleyball, I was a setter.
