Former Welsh Rugby star Scott Quinnell joins Ian Ward and Nasser Hussain in The Zone to try his luck against the Bowling Machine

Sky Sports #FanVan star Scott Quinnell is a former Wales international and British & Irish Lions No 8, but can he play cricket?

Click on the video above to watch Quinnell take on the bowling machine in The Zone at Lord's, with some expert tutoring from Sky Sports Cricket's Nasser Hussain.

Quinnell, a self-confessed T20 slogger, gets a few out of the middle when up against a slower, softer tennis ball, but struggles to lay bat on ball once the speed was cranked up, even wearing one on the foot!

These Welsh rugby players are made of stern stuff, though, unlike a cowering Hussain behind the stumps.

Quinnell has been on a sporting odyssey this month with the #FanVan, most recently pitching up at Wentworth for the BMW PGA Championship, where Wayne 'Radar' Riley floored him with a textbook rugby tackle!
