Watch, The Hundred | Ben Foster impressed as Southern Brave Women grab his attention with soccer skills

‌Southern Brave Women started their Hundred 2025 campaign with a six-wicket win over Manchester Originals at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Pacer Lauren Bell led an impressive bowling display from the visitors with a spell of 3/28 in four sets to restrict the Originals to 95/8 in their quota of 100 balls. Seren Smale hit four fours to top score for the home side with an unbeaten 40 off 34 balls.

Laura Wolvaardt anchored the chase with an unbeaten 42 off 37 balls, while Dani Wyatt-Hodge supported with a 27-ball 32 as Brave closed off the game with 11 balls to spare.

But Brave’s warm-up drill ahead of the match was what caught the attention of social media folks. Former England international goalkeeper Ben Foster joined in for an informal game of foot volley with the visitors as they were getting ready for the match.

Foster was impressed as the women comfortably kept the ball in play, bringing their footballing skills to the fore. He took some impressive touches, despite being a goalkeeper, in the huddle of six to entertain the crowd, who were starting to walk in for the game. The five players were at ease with the ball, opening up discussions on how good they would look on the soccer field.

That's impressive!
