Busy week for the stadium, All Whites last Friday, Black Caps tonight, Harry Canes on Friday and the Nix on Saturday.

You never know which Pakistan is going to turn up.  
Those Karachi bookmakers are a fickle breed.

Anyway, you'll all be pleased to know that The Littlest Hooligan is getting "Most Improved" in her Year 3 team. And that she waited until the last game of the season to consider that maybe she's a right-handed bat after all :D

For what it's worth if she feels more natural batting left handed encourage it, even if she is right handed in other aspects of her life. It's pretty normal and I've heard some people say it's the stance right handers should actually be taught. It means the top hand is the dominant one, there is a reason so many world class batsman bat left handed relative to the population.

From an article I found: "Right-handed international cricketers who have used a left-handed batting stance include the likes of Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, David Gower, Adam Gilchrist, Alistair Cook, Matthew Hayden, David Warner and Justin Langer.".

Although maybe her dominant hand is left and I'm preaching to someone already in the know!
