You've seen life through distorted eyes

You know you had to learn

The execution of your mind

You really had to turn

The race is run the book is read

The end begins to show

The truth is out, the lies are old

But you don't want to know

Brian McKecknie (spelling?) was the guy who faced the underarm delivery. He also kicked the winning penalty for the All Blacks against Wales after Andy Haden dived out of the lineout to milk a penalty.

Jeff Wilson is the other NZer I know of.

Rod Latham was part of the NZ Olympic synchronised swimming team in Barcelona in 1992.

Ray Lindwall. Champion fast bowler for Australa and Played one "test" for Australia in rugby league against NZ in 1946.

Shane Warne who was playing AFL for St Kilda when he was called into the cricket team. Ive heard that he was pretty good at football as well, obviously if he got drafted into the AFL.

Ive got no idea about anyone else

What about Denis Compton[Middlesex and England]Cricket and Arsenal and England[Football] also ArthurMilton [Glos and England]Cricket] Arsenal and England]Football and I almost forgot Willie Watson[Yorkshire and England]Cricket ,Sunderland and England[Football.

CB Van Ryneveld might have played Rugby and Cricket for South Africa or England.Can anybody confirm or deny?

I only know one, former Australian player Rick Charlesworth, who also played field hockey for Australia.

There was also Gary Hughes who played rugby league but though he played domestic cricket I don't think he ever played international cricket.

Edit: Yes, well Simon O'Donnell also played AFL football, but that is hardly international!

Phil Horne - NZ batsman of mid to late 80's also played international badminton.

Jeff Wilson of course.....and the bloke who blocked the underarm ball was an AB also, talking about blocks, can't recall his name.

Some of our older viewers will no doubt remember other names, it seems to be harder to do these days.

Shane warne had the chance to play footy for st kilda but obviously he chose cricket
