As we got closer I recognised the lad as one of the members of the Qld Blind Cricket Club whom I have had a fair bit to do with over the past decade or so. They are a great club and so passionate about the game.

Now none of this is particularly unusual I guess – no nets available for us – but what happened from there was a lesson in perspective for all three of us.

The lad, 21 year old Jock Young who lives close by at Macgregor immediately offered to vacate the net to allow us to use it and advised that he would happily move to the centre wicket to practice. This would mean he’d be bowling on an open field and then running at least 80 metres to fetch his plastic blind cricket ball, every single time.
