@JK said in Dad advice sharing thread.:
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.

@JK has jnr given any indication of what he'd prefer?
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
Update....got that dispensation so the lad is playing up a grade in under 11s. 3rd game of the season and he picked up a hattick today and all of them were bowled. Slowest bowler in the team but pretty much always a Yorker or just short of and if you miss then he hits. Proud dad!!!
Edit - vid of hattrick ball
You can see how little he is vs some of the others
