To think cricketers are the best looking sportsmen?

Am more than a bit obsessed with James Anderson and Virat Kohli who has the world’s sexiest smile but all cricketers seem to be very easy on the eye!! Why does everyone obsess over footballers so much, they’re definitely missing a trick!

Rugby players have got to get an honourable mention 😍

I dont think much of many of the footballers...I like quite a few of those that do kickboxing or thai boxing...always very slim and lean and good looking mostly....yum...!!

I think many sportsmen are easy on the eye...i like Nadal, Federer, Lewis Hamilton. I spose Flintoff is ok.

Nora1978 · 23/03/2021 23:10

Always find Lewis comes across a bit arrogant. With you on Nadal though!

YABU.
In all sports there are some that are easier on the eye than others.
By definition, sportsmen will tend to be fit and have a more attractive physique than a lot of the population, but no one sport has the monopoly on "attractive" sportsmen (or women) even if that were less subjective than it is.

I don’t care if he looks like jabba the hut as long as he scores the winning goal DaffodilFootball

Swimmers have the best bodies.

Suryakumar Yadhav for me! Also there’s something special about Hardik Pandya when batting against fast bowlers - I think it’s the intense looks he gives through the helmet 😂

Wishitsnows · 23/03/2021 23:36

Yes I would go for cricket and rugby

eatsleepread · 23/03/2021 23:37

Footballers are a bit common for me. I definitely prefer other sportsmen.

noblegreenk · 23/03/2021 23:42

I have a thing for cricketers too! I dated a professional for a while in my youth. I also like rugby players but never dated any.

VladmirsPoutine · 23/03/2021 23:46

Hands down F1!!

LegAndSparkle · 23/03/2021 23:53

What a non inclusive thread. Women can play sport now too you know!

gaia · 24/03/2021 01:38

Yabu, rugby players win just for the thighs!

jojojowo · 24/03/2021 01:49

Definitely there's a couple of fit footballers Scott Mctominay, Nick Pope. But I'd go for half the England cricket team based on looks especially Eoin Morgan and Mark Wood

Argentinian polo players.

TheBlackTower · 24/03/2021 02:22

Totally agree - Washington Sundar, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler and Shai Hope are gorgeous, and Isa Guha is stunning.

We are spoilt in cricket, but agree that F1 is lucky too - Hamilton, Bottas, Grosjean (last season) and Kimi R - wow.

TheBlackTower · 24/03/2021 02:26

Is this a safe space to mention that the sight of WI Rahkeem Cornwall does something strange (but quite pleasant) to me?! Confused

F1 are good looking but lack the BDE for me. Virat Kohli.... Sorry I fainted....is God's gift

Virat can be a bit on the sulky side sometimes but yes, serious BDE.
sofato5miles · 24/03/2021 04:09

What's BDE

JimLaheysWhiskeyBottle · 24/03/2021 04:30

Ice hockey players, especially Henrik Lundqvist.

PuppyMonkeyBaby · 24/03/2021 04:54

NHL (US and Canada) hockey players get me needing to fan myself.

Or that could be the menopause

Jacob Markstrom does it for me,
