Usain Bolt considers Australian cricket offer


Olympic sprint star Usain Bolt has told Australian media he is considering an offer from former test legspinner Shane Warne to play Twenty20 cricket in Australia's Big Bash League next season.
The Melbourne Stars franchise, for which Warne is the marquee player, confirmed it has opened negotiations with Bolt through his management company.

Bolt, who defended his 100 metres and 200 metres titles in London to take his Olympics gold medal tally to six, played junior cricket in Jamaica and has expressed a love for the sport.
He told Australia's Channel Nine "if I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in."
