According to the Sydney Morning Herald the Boston Red Sox have been trying to persuade Adam Gilchrist to take up baseball. Ian Chappell (a former Australian representative baseballer as well as captain of the Australian cricket team) thinks Gilchrist hasn't got the fielding skills to make it and the man himself doesn't seem to show any kind of interest, but it is an interesting development nonetheless. The same article mentions that the Arizona Diamondbacks (whoever they are) once approached Brett Lee along similar lines.
Hmmm, I smell an idea for finally breaking the Australian team's dominance over the red ball game...
