Hi, all. I am just new in this forum. I hope to provide some input as I go. I hope it is all useful. I am just a grass roots cricketer, born in Indonesia and grew up in country Victoria. There was no reason for me to play the game due to my background. To cut a long story short, I have played and/or been involved with cricket for 40 years and have enjoyed every bit of it. All my kids played and 2 of them are still playing with a sub District Club in Melbourne. My passion is grass roots and I believe that sports offers many things for kids. I grew up in clubs and I remember the weekends where we talked all the day about nothing and everything. Some of the best memories have been on a Saturday in and around cricket clubs. Recent times, it has saved my mind during tough times also. Its a great place to be. I now coach at the Singapore Cricket Club and spend most of my time there. I also am working with sports clubs internationally to improve efficiencies in clubland! Thats the short version...till my next post...cee ya.
