Looks like some top quality coaching. No real fancy equipment either

I guess at that stage his father wants him to be a cricketer more than the child does. We all know cricketer are like gods in India but I can't help feel that amount of cricket and practise at 8 years of age is a bit to much.

Totally agree ! This is like a army life style in terms of cricket where poor kid is training and following rules regulations etc ???

Post by: smilley792 on January 24, 2014, 07:59:12 AM: Although I'd have probably hated it, I wish my dad had pushed me at cricket.

I always enjoyed playing but just saw it as a laugh with mates/family. Wasn't until I was 25 I took it seriously, which was to late.

Maybe if I'd been pushed like this around 13/14 I'd have been at another level to now.
8 is abit to early, I'd I would presume that kid has been playing for a few years before that,

Will he not get burnout before he's even an adult?

one thing about pro sport nowadays - nothings left to chance. He'll probably be given every opportunity to excel.
