R5L Sports Extra...Boycott has just said he's very good. Nice compliment from a rag.

Joe came across very well. Proud he's representing our club

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Enjoyed that. He came over very well and obviously likes his cricket.

He played cricket to a good level when he was younger and had to make the choice between cricket and football. Made the best choice I feel.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart talks to the BBC at tea. The England stopper used to play for Worcestershire when he was younger: 'I'm a little bit too tall to be a wicketkeeper really. There is a correlation between that and goalkeeping, obviously with the catching, but with being a little bit bigger you struggle to bend down all day.

'I was a left-arm quick, but don't play any more because I had to knock it on the head with the football. I'm still an avid watcher.

'The City boys just want to come and watch cricket. It's funny trying to explain it to the foreign lads who come over. I try, but the perception is that it's a ridiculous sport. But when you break it down, the lads who have been here a while get it. Vincent Kompany likes to think he's cultured and listens to what I'm saying.'
