good to see Athers 18 year old son help himself to a ton off Yorkshire today before retiring to give others a chance, alongside one of his uni team mates who also got a ton. Not how the pre season county v uni games are supposed to go :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Poor from the keeper, a cheap move and not what cricket is supposed to be about. @Mudball , surely the captain would call him back, not your coach?

Our team is U10.. they pick up what they see on TV. Hence the coach needs to ensure they have good habits.
BTW, the keeper was Quinton de kock .. SA captain & international superstar... expect more of this in the IPL

Ha ha, now that makes sense, re coach.

Totally agree. Kids in all sports copy what they see the pro's do. It's important that coaches instill the correct way to behave.

Do you think the nature and showbiz style of 20-20 encourages the pushing of boundaries?

Absolutely.. it’s been only a week of nets, but the batsman are already trying switch shots, standing outside off.. moving around etc.. bowlers learning to bowl short, cross seam .. this is all still U10-11 ..
my son’s stock delivery is an inswinger, this week he has been practicing bowling a slow ball by going cross seam. It is funny to watch, but got a couple of ‘wickets’ in the net
