Kinda implies cricket was more his number 1 game for longer. Good luck to him. The 20/20 helps to a degree - no doubt. THe other benefit for Australian cricket at the moment is that they've just moved on messers Langer, Hayden, Gilchrist, McGrath and Warne which has opened up a number of opportunities that had been securely locked away. IT's the dilemma of a game that can let guys play for 10-15 years to age 38!!! Del Borello was described in the Inside Football Draft preview :

I think it's basketball that has suffered due to AFL poaching of the tall young talented athletes as there are positions in both sports for tall players.
