Title: Not STFC Transfer Rumours part XVIMMXCI Post by: Frigby Daser on Friday, January 5, 2018, 19:54:23 Reid was one of those kids who was a bit good at most sports. He played cricket for Gloucestershire 2s and had promise, apparently. It was when he started texting his mates whilst fielding in the covers that they realised he might not have the level of application that they were after.

There is a few of them around who played both cricket and football isn’t there? The obvious one being Botham.James Vince turned down pro terms at Reading to focus on cricket.

We had an interesting discussion about this back in the summer. I'll leave you with a question...who is the last man to play League football and 1st class cricket?

Title: Not STFC Transfer Rumours part XVIMMXCI Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, January 6, 2018, 11:15:31 Keith Barker another recent one (Rochdale/Blackburn, now opens the bowling for Warks) Unlike Joe, Keith is still playing first class cricket, but his football appearances were longer ago, so Joe is the answer. Must be frustrating to good enough to do both, but not quite good enough to make a long career from either.

Ellyse Perry of course, is an international at both, and probably the best female cricketer on the planet to boot.

There was a rumour around she was pretty handy at AFL as well, by far the best woman player in the world although Sarah Taylor wouldn't be far behind.

Title: Re: Not STFC Transfer Rumours part XVIMMXCI Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 8, 2018, 10:25:48 This is all lovely but any fucking rumours Perhaps we are signing Ellyse Perry, our defence could do with a bit of quality?
