Arsenal trio Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and David Ospina took some time out of our busy schedule to test their cricket skills and gain some tips from a few coaches.
Walcott definitely looked the most comfortable when batting, probably honed through the hours he spends on the golf course on a weekly basis.
While he started off rather timid, Oxlade-Chamberlain soon got comfortable with the bat and delivered a lovely shot which reached the boundary.
However, the best moment in the clip definitely came when Ospina attempted to bowl. The Colombian seemed to mix a long throw with a swift front-flip, all while trying to make it look as ‘cricket’ as possible.
