Title: Peter Trego
Post by: frooper11 on March 17, 2015, 01:12:15 PM: The Somerset thwacker has signed for Bath City FC of the Conference South. I know he's played a bit before at Non-League level but aside from the historic obviouseseses (Botham et al) can anyone else name anyone that's played at both Pro Cricket and Semi-Pro or Pro football in recent years?

Had no idea the Keith Barker had played league football, he qualifies more so than Trego!

I don't really understand this... So will Trego now miss some of the Somerset pre-season stuff?

To me he seems a fairly key player to them, so is it not a little strange how they would release him mid-week to play semi-pro football?

From what I can gather he's likely to be 3rd choice keeper. He must have been playing for Somerset 1st's when he played 40 odd games in a season for Clevedon a few years back so it's possible.

Thinking of someone else? Trego definitely isn't a keeper!

Post by: Rob580 on March 19, 2015, 09:23:38 AM: So I guess he must be an ok Wicketkeeper? Same basic movements and skills etc.

You'd think so, although I'm sure a pro batsman with a decent pair of hands should be able to keep fairly well? There's a fair few who've acted as a back up keepers in one dayers/tests.

Anyone can look a competent keeper stood back, it's when they're standing up you can judge if they're decent or not
