The Times of India draws up their list of list of players who can either strum a guitar or ride the octave with the same felicity as essaying a cover drive or hurling a bouncer.
Brett Lee The Australian fast bowler is all set to release his first single with his new rock band, White Shoe Theory. Earlier the Kings XI Punjab player was part of the band, Six & Out, that also included his brother Shane. Lee can play both the bass and acoustic guitar and loves to jam with offie Jason Krejza. During the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy, he also recorded a duet with the legendary Asha Bhosle, “You’re the one For me”. It peaked at No 2 on the charts.
Verdict
Two stars out of five.
Graeme Swann The pugnacious 32-year-old offbreak bowler is the lead singer of a rather erotically named Nottingham-based band, Dr Comfort and the Lurid Revelations.
Verdict
Let us go by what fellow band member, former Nottinghamshire spinner Andy Afford, says about Swann: 60% frontman and 40% singer.
