I suspect that most of us on this forum could have had a good go at scoring 1000 against a team of 13/14 year olds who had never played.

I can assure I'd still find a way to get myself out long before 1000 runs haha

That's the ground, measures 63m x 100m.

1009 in roman numerals is MIX. Wonder how long it will take for the new kit range to appear?

Will his range have a nail in the handle?

[northernboy1987]

Honestly the whole situation is just ridiculous. SF have pulled a blinder marketing wise
Step 1: set up a game so a lad scores record amount of runs and make sure the whole world knows

Step 2:make sure the media knows that not only was he using an SF bat but that it was undoubtedly a major factor in his success

Step 3: release special range of bats that are exactly the same as one of your current range and watch the gullible public flock to buy this "new" 1000 run super bat.

Personally I think it's not in with spirit of the game. How you could ask a 13 year old to keep bowling when they're going at over 20 an over.

This article covers it better than I can:

As mentioned in previous posts, it's not something to shout about really. It's actually an insult. Where's the spirit of the game, sportsmanship etc?

The coaches of the team should be sacked

Took it with a Pinch of salt when I first read  it then later saw it on News at Ten completely meaningless it's a pity ITN have nothing better to report.

Wondering if the same sort of analysis was done when AEJ Collins made 628

I suspect the whole thing was (at least partly) orchestrated by SF as a marketing device, if you can tell me what bat AEJ Collins used I'll be equally suspicious of him haha

I see Tendulkar's sent him a signed bat and Dhoni's waxing lyrical about it.  Not like Dhoni at all to support unfairness in cricket...

It's bullying, nothing more.  Agree the coaches/teachers have to take a serious look at themselves for allowing that to go on.  Those kids on the receiving end have got them hanging over them for the rest of their lives.  There's a massive difference between scoring a load of runs in a competitive game and rightly getting plaudits and bullying those with a far greater inability than you.

It's certainly not competitive sport...

I am surprised no one has blamed the pitch curator yet for making a flat track...

Another Flat track Bully :p

Though the boy's performance is commendable, demotivating and scarring to those 12-year olds (at the receiving end) to be in the wrong news at such an early age.

Totally avoidable if you ask me
