What If Messi and Ronaldo Faced a 150 km/h Bowler? ⚽🏏

Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) vs a 150 km/h cricket fast bowler: who survives? Messi vs Ronaldo, cricket edition: fast bowling, a bouncer, and the fastest ball ever bowled. At 150 km/h, a hard cork-and-leather cricket ball crosses the 20.12 m pitch in about half a second, and the fastest delivery ever recorded was 161.3 km/h (2003). Messi is 17 cm shorter than Ronaldo, so the bouncer sails over him. But in 2011 Ronaldo scored from crosses in total darkness by reading the crosser's body, which is exactly how top batters read fast bowlers. So who survives? Messi or Ronaldo: who would YOU back against a fast bowler?
