Football is an Anglo-Saxon sport as well (if you are saying that Anglo-Saxon as in sports originating from England). ;) (Not sure about the origins of field Hockey though).

Mainly because the sport is so simple to set-up play and when played well, it's the beautiful game. :D
 
Actually, in China the interest for snooker is said to be quite huge. I don't think it's the most watched sport there, but it ranks high. Table tennis is also very popular there. According to some sources, basketball is also in the top bunch in China.

Nice tries guys, and probably correct as well. But I am looking for something else.

First hint:
A biologist would rather be interested in the inspiration and a mechanic would rather be interested in the invention.
 
No.

I am asking for two different things:

1. An inspiration
2. An invention

I will think about another hint but I'm afraid it's going to be too easy then.
