Joe Hart has been the most dependable goalkeeper England have had in a long time, but his proficiency at cricket might easily have further stretched England’s search for a solution in goal after Seaman’s retirement.
Hart’s physical attributes have served him well in his chosen position, and they were his assets as a 15 year old bowler as well. Spending two years at Worcestershire’s youth academy, young Joe Hart was a tall and strong left-arm over bowler who also managed to get considerable swing.
His coach from the time, the son of the famous Basil d’Oliviera, remembers him vividly as having shown great potential and being diferent from the ‘usual run of the mill stuff’. He said he could tell that Hart would have gone on to represent his county without doubt. He has revealed that Hart was in doubt as to which way his future lay, but finally made his mind up when football club Shrewsbury approached him with a better monetary offer.
