Goldie to play cricket!

Kimbo · 18-05-2002, 05:01 PM

Jeff Wilson has retired from rugby to play cricket...
what do you think?

Tim · 18-05-2002, 07:22 PM

Its fantastic news for NZ considering the recent retirements, injuries etc.

Wilson has the ability to read a situation like a book and is outstanding at all areas of cricket (batting, bowling, fielding)

I think the wait now is to see whether he'll make the World Cup, there is no doubt that he will if he has a big summer for Otago.

Kimbo · 18-05-2002, 08:03 PM

yea it sure is exciting ... i hope he does well, hopefully he can step up to replace guys like nash

Great news for New Zealand cricket - he's a real talent in whatever sport he plays whether it being rugby, cricket or basketball.

Hopefully he makes a great return.

Hope he doesen't get struck down by injury!

Its great PR for NZ cricket, I imagine that if Wilson gets picked for NZ next year, that the crowds will pack the grounds just to see him play.

I just read in the NZ Herald that Wilson said he always wanted to play cricket more than rugby which was interesting.

lord_of_darkness · 19-05-2002, 08:49 PM

hmm he will have the power to blast some

after all the hard intensive rugby training the cricket ones should be easy as for him

Kimbo · 19-05-2002, 11:48 PM

the training he will have to do for cricket will be quite different though... he will probably have to do a bit of LSD...

FrontierPsychiartrist · 20-05-2002, 06:05 AM

Interesting indeed...

LSD?

It's very interesting, not many people are top-level internationals in two sports (Thinks... 1906... CB Fry... that's all I can remember, plus someone who played for Nuneaton Borough at Football and Gibraltar at Cricket, but that's hardly top level!)

Kimbo · 20-05-2002, 08:28 PM

lsd is long slow distance training, it means going for a really long jog(usually) going real slow...
boring eh

Where've you gone sunil?

Paul · 21-05-2002, 09:39 AM
