The footballers cricket team

Post by karatekid » Mon Sep 07, 2020 9:09 am

Which football players would make good cricketers?

Joey Barton as fast bowler. Plenty of aggression and of course he would be a dab hand at a bit of sledging.

Pope, Allison and Ederson in the slips - good hands

Messi and Ronaldo as spinners?

The bowler's (Rob) Holding, the batman's Willie (Miller).

Don't blame me, it was Ager's fault.

Messi would be the most skilful spin bowler ever to play the game, or a very technical batsman like Sachin. Ronaldo would be an incredible all rounder who would be a great quick bowler and destructive batsman in the mould of Ben Stokes.
