The Ashes Football connection

The BBC reports that "Gary Pratt, who achieved cult hero status in 2005 by running out the Aussie captain (Ricky Ponting) at Trent Bridge, was fast asleep at his home in Durham as England got their Ashes campaign off to an inauspicious start.

The 24-year-old was exhausted after playing for Crook Town FC against Seaham Red Star in Thursday evening's Arngrove Northern League Division Two game.

Pratt has turned to football to keep in shape after he was released by county side Durham in August."

Some other football blogs have rubbished cricket in recent days highlighting their own ignorance when it comes to the strong connections between the two sports.

For example, England cricket legend Ian Botham could have become a professional footballer and did actually play for Scunthorpe United in 11 league games. Denis Compton (above) played for both Arsenal and England on the football field, and spent 22 years with Middlesex County Cricket Club, amassing 78 Test caps in the process.

Viv Richards is perhaps the only man to represent his country in both soccer and cricket World Cup competitions, playing for Antigua in qualification. In a bizarre twist of fate Richards was once dismissed by former Coventry City goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic when Ogrizovic (of Shropshire) played for the Minor Counties against the touring Windies.

There are numerous fans around the world who follow both sports and clearly the two games can have a positive influence on one another. The celebrated Barmy Army shows footballs current influence on cricket whilst undoubtedly some footballers (e.g. Anton Ferdinand & Craig Bellamy) could learn social behaviour skills from their cricket counterparts.
