Every time I watch NBA basketball I cant help but think "What a waste of fast bowling talent"
If you took the top 50 players from any sport and worked hard for a long time to teach them cricket, which sport would produce the best cricket team?
Basketball
Tall and athletic. A potential fastbowling goldmine. Good hand eye co-ords and footwork
Football
The world game. The best from the biggest talent pool in sport. Surely must be talented athletes who can turn their hand to anything?
Tennis
Tall with great anticipation. Skilled at returning and hitting fast bouncing balls
Baseball
Too often compared to cricket in the USA but does have transferable skills. Great fielding and awesome hand eye co-ordination
Badminton
Fast and with good reactions. A sport of touch rather than just power
Other
AFL, Union, League, Kabadi, American Football, Fly Fishing, Darts..etc, you choose
