Gayle hit for six by Usain Bolt

It seems that 100m world record holder and olympic champion Usain Bolt can hold a bat....and is even better with the ball.

It's always good seeing sporting celebs playing cricket as it pushes the sport to wider audiences, but I'm not sure how much club cricket a footballer (like Gary Lineker of old) or rugby player (like Rob Andrew did) might play these days in the UK. Presumably none given the risk of injury and the fact that their season lasts 10 months. A pity....

Couldn't help laughing when I saw that he was run out - must have been batting with Owais Shah !

we'll have to see if he can qualify for england
if so, get him opening the batting, then every match Owais Shah can mysteriously get injured and need a runner...
