Emerging Blues have also lost the plot. They demand kids play shots all the time, they are told NOT to play defensively so this is the future for our Test teams – players who are very aggressive but will not be able to adapt when the conditions do not suit.
As for Green Shield, it’s a glorified A grade competition these days, the standard has plummeted over the past 5 or so years. It’s a crying shame.
Is this cricket now?
I was still in Primary School when this game was played but I remember that spell from Lillee as something out of this world. As you mentioned, nothing was impossible when he was fired up. That first over to Viv Richards was the stuff of legends.
Blast from the past: A wonder at the WACA
One of my sons is a highly talented cricketer but my only comments to him are “do your best and have fun”. On the trip home we never talk about cricket.
Unfortunately some of the other parents think that a 12 year-old boy making a mistake is reason to chastise them (whether it’s their own son or someone else’s). I find that attitude appalling.
Cricket is fun, sport is fun, people need to realise this. My boys play in one of the biggest junior competitions in the country and it has produced a whopping 4 international players in over 50 years. The sooner parents realise that the chances of their sons playing at an elite level is next to zero the better. Let them enjoy the game for what it is.
