    Yeah he initially was keen to repeat U10 as bowling wont be as fast but he would also then need to deal with the shite bowling he encountered last year that sometime doesnt even land on the pitch!

    Anyway, since I've posted it looks like the 3 other lads in his team from last year are all keen to play under 11 (well thats what the parents say) so looks like we are going for that. Club said would apply for a dispensation from Auckland Cricket for them to play U11s BUT the kids would need to be available for Under 10 reps if selected

    Batting not as good as just doesnt hit the boundaries the other kids do

    Hadn't really looked at this thread but was just scrolling through -that is an even more pertinent comment from his last season given what has happened since. Need to fix that this year Dad, could cost us another World cup one day (kidding - would rather another Kane than Brendan).

    That was a timely bump from JK. We have #2 on the way so I'll be looking to the fern collective for advice on how to manage two mini-humans!!

    @Paekakboyz There might be better places to look bro. Just saying.
    Our advice on pretty much anything is usually questionable.

    And congrats. And good luck.

    @Snowy hey, even getting advice to weigh down one end of the 'things to do' scale is useful!

    I think the 'usually' was surplus to requirements 🙂

    Cheers!!

    Dunno if this is the right thread but it seemed like a parenting thing to me.

    MR to 5 yr daughter “miss x, have you seen your older brother”
    5 yr daughter “He’s taking a dump”.

    Brought a tear to my eye.

    @Paekakboyz bit late in the piece for the advice I'd give 😉

    Seriously though, congrats!

    @mariner4life that can be a non-s3xual withdrawal too.
