Video: Barcelona striker Lionel Messi tries his hand at cricket in new advertisement for Herbalife In the video for nutritional company Herbalife, Messi is seen putting on his Barcelona kit and lacing up his football boots before entering a cricket arena alongside a bowler while a crowd of excited children gather at the boundary fence. After berating himself for what looks like a pretty decent cover drive off his first delivery, Messi gets into the swing of things clubbing the next ball for six. Satisfied that he has mastered the art batting, Messi then takes the ball in his hand to give bowling a try. His slingshot bowling action would make Lasith Malinga blush and the Argentina striker sees successive deliveries despatched over the boundary, before changing tack and using his trusty left-boot to deliver a ball that leavers the batsman looking as confused as Mike Gatting after he faced Shane Warne at Old Trafford in 1993. Job done, the ancient sport of cricket mastered in a few short minutes, Messi returns to the dressing room for a well-earned nutritional drink. The Argentina forward has previously tried his hand at basketball and table tennis in ads for Herbalife with similar success. There is seemingly nothing that is beyond him.
