I know - that looks a decent team!

He was watching the AB D documentary this morning and then went out to the garden to practice his batting against the wall - finally!

If his role model is AB he could be the saviour of English cricket!

depends - I've got him working on his bowling as well after watching the Sky greats programme on Kapil Dev - about time India had another great fast bowling all-rounder
would be better for the IPL contract too!

No one will enter now in case they lose to a six year old!

Only way to be sure not to is to pick the same team.

When my son was 6 he beat me at a lot of things.

But only because I let him.
