Have you watched all three episodes? He did a great job with those kids, getting them to believe in themselves and learning team work. A lot of kids are bored, or ignored but get them interested in something and see the difference.

A great series but it had a floor to all of us who follow cricket. There is no way Asian kids would not of heard or played cricket. The Lancashire cricket leagues are very strong and club cricket thrives up there.

But that’s me being picky.

That's so picky.

And also....the Asian kids I know just want to be doctors. They wouldn't know cricket from locust.

This made me lol. It's not a criticism of your grammar but I had to read it again and again to work out what you were on about (I think it's a hangover from Poyet and his ceiling)

Glad I wasn't the only one - it wasn't immediately obvious

You are clearly very knowledgeable about Asian kids living in the northwest of England.

said in the credits half the lads had joined the Vernon club & the young Afgan was currently training with Lancs youngsters. Fingers crossed he will finally get residency.

His foster parents were lovely. At 16 he couldn't speak a word of English but had picked up cricket in Afghanistan. The veteran professionals were impressed with his talent. He looked so despairing at Liverpool when his asylum was postponed.
