Athlete that dont play cricket: who could do well?

[StinkyBoHoon]

still don't think it would make that much difference. I don't think there are loads of cricketers out there as good as bradman were not for the fact they were scared of facing.

you'd get used to it, you'd survive and the skills would come into play.

Federer could make a very accurate bowler since consistency is his main strength in particular with his serve. If he could get some pace or become a spin bowler then I'm sure he'll be very accurate at placing the ball where he wants it.

Yea depends on what kind of a personality Federer has really... if he is a affraid of pain then he might not do two well to the short ball... but once he was to face a few i think he would be fine.

Obviously he would need some help on technique but just considering his hand-eye co-ordination, and quick reflexes he might do alright.

But that was funny watching Manny lol. Def needs some work on a defensive shot haha

Jonathan Brown - AFL player. He actually bowled to Ricky Ponting on a tv show and caused him tons of problems. He was bowling really quick off a few steps.

I could see Jonathon Brown being decent too, he is tall and strong and a natural athlete. I wish i could have seen that game

Kieran Read (All Black) played for the New Zealand Under 19 team the year Ryder and co played. Apparently he was pretty good batsmen but he could really send the ball down their if needed.

Many dubbed him as an up-and-coming Black Cap, as his ability as a batsman was just as obviously exceptional as his skills as a rugby player

NSW Rugby player Matt Dunning would be an awesome batsman, because Fat=Power.

Shaq. Would be a black Inzy. I can see him bowling some decent offspinners too...

Would have to be one hell of a bouncer to be called no -ball for Shaq

I dont think you could bounce shaq... but i think the biggest problem is he would need two pairs of pads on to cover his legs haha.

I wonder if the Great Khali tried Cricket, he is Indian so surely he must have played it.

Apparently Jimmy Bartel from Geelong played U17s for Victoria and could have continued with it if he didn't choose footy.

Bartel does cricket in the pre-season as well, too bad he`s in a bloody scum AFL club, thats right, i`m still sulking, shut up.
