I remember Phil Taylor the darts player saying in an interniew that when he lost quite a bit of weight it made his darts form drop.  Apparently it effected his balance and eye sight (quite important for a darts and cricket player) for a short while.

"an ill-advised speed diet temporarily affected his form"

While this effect maybe only minute it was the difference between Phil Taylor being at the top of the world and just ahead of the chasing pack.

So if Cosgrove lost weight rapidly it could affect his form, however it is good to see a big lad playing cricket!

I don't think it ever gets to the stage of choosing Football over anything, the set up of all clubs is to get kids into the system so that they are playing it from pre school upwards, with some serious money changing hands for 11 years signing up to youth policies. I've seen a 14 year old who was playing cricket for our club in the summers signed up at Bristol City and having scouts from Arsenal pursue him parents to swap to them. He was bloody useful batting and bowling at that age but never played a game for the next 6 years as he was full time football. That crucial stage of their development prevents them ever appearing on the cricketing stage.

Phil Taylor has great hand eye coordination but could never be classed as a sportsman....

He must have forgot about the great Fattus I'm sure it was an oversight

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

What a talented batsman he is. Only if he loses his weight he will be all set in Australia's middle order.
