A mate of mine
used to coach Joe Hart and James Taylor at cricket when both were kids. After seeing Hart play football he then bet a double that both (aged 15 and 17, I think) would play for England - Hart at football, Taylor at cricket.
When Taylor debuted v SA this summer he pocketed a considerable sum
