New Delhi: When two national keepers meet up, it's bound to make some news. England and Manchester City goal-keeper Joe Hart welcomed England and Lancashire wicket-keeper Jos Buttler for a training session at the Manchester City training ground on October 31. And their exploits in the training ground made news.

The duo adorned Citizen jerseys and shared their trade secrets albeit in a more footballing way, with a bigger ball size, 68 cm in circumference. After his keeping session, Buttler like true professional took questions form kids at the centre.

It seemed, everything was going smoothly, until Hart thought of playing cricket. The England Number 1, wearing protective helmet and guards, started showing his more than appreciable cricket skills. But suddenly, the net session was disrupted with the gathering rushing towards an unknown women.

It was found out that she was hit on one of her arms with a stingy, travelling straight drive from Hart's blade. The goal-keeper apologised to the lady. But, despite the low-down, the English keeper pair kept up with sporting talks and exchanged signed 'autographed' shirts.
