#1 Steven Finn's footballing skills

You think AB de Villiers is the most talented guy on the cricket field? Think again! Steven Finn plays cricket and football at the same time while bowling. Confused? The tall England seamer runs in and bowls but knocks off the non-striker's bails with his right foot during the follow-through.

He does this so often that umpires have warned him to concentrate on his cricketing skills first. Nicknamed The Watford Wall, Finn is surely eyeing a place in the Watford Premier League side with his uncanny flick of the bails. Beats the scissor cut, doesn't he?
