Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

The other two bowlers had normal figures (1-0-17-0 and 2-0-7-0), so unless he was the only 15 year old on the park, it sounds pretty impressive.

Parra and Hawkesbury have confirmed the first ever day/night Green Shield game to be played at Brice Purser over on December 14. If anyone lives around the north west of Sydney and wants to see some generally pretty ****ing good youth cricket, get along. 2pm start. Admission free. Lads excited.

Haha wow. Some ridiculous records coming from Indian school cricket these past few years.
I still can't for the life of me figure out how some of the match ups occur.

Like OS mentioned, the game where the guy made 1000 and then the other team got bowled out for like 30 or something, because 1 team was 15-16 year olds and the other was 10 year olds. How???

Who sends their 10 year old kids to play against 16 year olds and then just does nothing while that farcical match plays out? Someone please explain to me how this happens?

The team of 15-16 year olds had exams or something so they sent out the 10 year olds instead. Not sure why the game wasn't forfeited or the batting team coach didn't declare but hey, it's India. That's like in the bottom 0.01% of cricket related concerns there.

Rather impressive not to give it away atain some point in the 200s, 300s or even 400s. That is the impressive thing for me. :D

How long does it take to not be an all rounder? Steve Smith is listed on cricinfo as an all rounder for this test. How do they define that anyway? Or is it just a purely subjective thing?

How would you feel, playing for a club called Puke? Lol, It's University Puke too. That would be the worst kind.

More like somebody writes the profile and it then gets forgotten about.

My three year old has developed a strange habit. It all started when she got given some cards from a milo tin. She asked who the players were. There were three cards - Burns, Perry and Maxwell.

Since then every time we have played cricket together she has been calling me Maxwell. I'll get the bat and she'll bowl to me and she'll say "you're Maxwell".

It's truly bizarre and very cute.
