Victor Ian
International Coach
Imagine Bruce Lee was born a few thousand kilometers West. How would he have fared as a cricketer? I imagine he'd have been an all rounder with his ability to master all the arts and add them to his repertoire.
Pace Bowling --> he'd be deceptively quick. I would imagine he'd rival wasim.
Spin Bowling. With that finger punch power, he would bowl the carrom ball and make Murali look feeble.
Batting. he'd have an impenetrable defence and would probably turn defensive strokes into ruthless attacks.
Fielding. He'd be catching balls with chopsticks...if that was allowed. But it's not so he'd just have to use his impeccable hands and would be better than Ponting.
Keeping. There would be no such thing as leg byes with bruce lee. he would use his legs as deftly as his arms to intercept all balls trying to get past him.
in short...I think Bruce Lee would probably have been the concensus pick as best ever all rounder. Kallis would be relegated to 2nd.
