I'm not a cricket fan at all, but just had the build up to today's Ashes on in the background and a fantastic segment caught my eye - it was a 'Wicket Keeping Master Class' by Healy, Warne and Ponting - it had me absolutely hooked, despite having no interest or knowledge of cricket or the art of Wicket Keeping. They were doing a 'show and tell' with Warne bowling at Ponting and Healy keeping - and dissecting everything about the art of keeping - this would have been invaluable watching for any amateur keeper. Did anyone else see it?So, it got me thinking what a great segment that could make into an RL programme - either pre-match or as part of one of the other magazine shows - a current or ex top level player talking about the intricate skill side of the game. Obviously you'd need to get the right players demonstrating he right skills, and with good presentation, but I think that would be great TV. Imagine Sinfield doing a goal kicking segment, Jason Robinson doing an 'attacking footwork', Briers a 'short kicking game', Gareth Ellis 'dominant tackles' etc etc
