RE: Gary Neville Playing Hurling in Galway and Pure Skill

in Sports Talk Social2 years ago

What did Gary Neville get on the cricket?

I suspect he got 8/8 as it is pretty easy if you play cricket I imagine, as it is just overhand bowling. Having said that kids got 0/8 and 1/8 and I threw 4 or 5 balls too and missed with them all, I am no cricketer though! :)

A little known fact about both he and Phil is that they both could have become professional cricketers but opted for football instead.

Wow, never knew that. You see it here in Ireland as well though where certain players are great at other Sports, like Paul O'Connell (Rugby) who was an accomplished swimmer and Shane Long (Soccer) who was a great Tipperary hurler.
