George Bush tries out Cricket

[Sazar]

He's a good sport :)

Politics aside, I rather enjoy a president who is personable enough and brave enough to try out different things like this :D

His form in batting was pretty good considering he's never played before. His bowling could use work but, for a first timer he was pretty good, especially considering his history in baseball.

:thumbsup:

Can't link directly. It's in CNN videos in their World section.

His batting style is a bit cross-bat - like my mother's. And I think he would need more coaching on his bowling since the bowling action in cricket is not quite natural.

Well, like I said, for a first-timer he did pretty well :)

I used to bowl off-spin which is about as un-natural an action as you can get lol.

Did he get hit in the middle wicket? :p

I used to hate that sport back in Australia due to the fact the ball is bloody hard as hell and even with a cup, a crotch bowl kills.

Props to GWB were its due though.

They only showed him receiving a delivery or two, but he connected on one. Uppish shot, typical of what you would expect from anyone not familiar with the sport.

The problem with first-timers is that they hold the bat like you would hold a hockey-stick or a golf-club.
