10 runs to get, 6 balls to do it. I’m on strike as the rain whips into my face, through the metal grill of my helmet making it slightly difficult to see the ball. Its dark, wet, and 13 players and 2 umpires tough it out for one more over. But for me, I’ve had one of the greatest moments on the cricket field already. I opened the batting with my old man. We walked out together with the task set in front of us, ready to take on the world. While we enjoyed a solid 50-run partnership, I also had the extra privilege of seeing him get out before me. The result of the game didn’t matter to me because I was the happiest a cricketer ever could be. No century or five wicket haul could ever compete with the feeling of playing cricket with the person who introduced you to the game twenty odd years ago.

As a young cricketer, I grew up under the coaching of my dad who threw the ball to me while I tried to play my best Ricky Ponting hook shot, or my sharpest Michael Clarke cover drive
