Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world, BUT yet it isn't even available to play in the Olympics !!, whilst Baseball a sport where about 2 countries actually play to a good standard has had Olympic status for years now. Basketball isn't popular here in the UK.

A very misleading list at that. Football is the only one that makes sense. Cricket's popularity is inflated by its presence in the Indian subcontinent, with a combined population of almost 1.5 billion people. (India = 1.1 billion, Pakistan + Bangladesh = 330 million, Sri Lanka = 20 million). Although cricket is played in more than 100 countries, many of ICC's member "nations" are in fact British territories (Gibraltar, Isle of Man, St. Helena, Bermuda, even Falkland Islands). It is thus in fact played in fewer than 80 countries, and only really a major sport in the 9 Test playing countries (football is still the most popular sport among the majority black population in Zimbabwe, and n Kenya, only ethnic Indians and members of the Luo tribes play the game, football and distance running are much more popular overall).

Basketball is nowadays played professionally in Europe and Australia, and is widely followed in South America due to the number of Brazilian and Argentinians in the NBA (Barbosa, Ginobili, Luis Scola etc), hence its popularity. In most parts of S America and Europe, however, it ranks below football and often other sports (volleyball/beach volleyball in Brazil, polo in Argentina, weightlifting and wrestling in Eastern Europe).

Baseball is huge in Central America (Dominica, Cuba, Haiti etc) and Venezuela and Colombia, as well as Japan and Chinese Taipei. But, like cricket, it is only played widely in a few countries, and like India in cricket, the big money is all in USA and, to a lesser extent, Japan.

Tennis and golf are played in more countries than crcket or baseball, but because they are individual sports, and because in many countries, access to equipment and facilities is costly, the total numbers of registered players are lower than for cricket, basketball and baseball.

Out of those, cricket is the only one I love to watch, the rest are boring. Though I do watch football (soccer) when there's a big game on, but only because all my friends watch it. I only watch cricket, tennis and F1 on a regular basis.
