Kids, don't take up sports, Jimmy Neesham says after World Cup final defeat
London, July 15 (IBNS): Hours after New Zealand were defeated in the World Cup final by England, cricketer Jimmy Neesham, who seems to be heart-broken, urged kids not to take up sports as their future professions.
"Kids, don’t take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy," Jimmy, who played the final match for New Zealand, tweeted.
In another tweet, he said: "That hurts. Hopefully there’s a day or two over the next decade where I don’t think about that last half hour. Congratulations @ECB_cricket , well deserved."
