Good article. I am watching the featured Bowling Old Lane second XI at my local club Pudsey St Lawrence and the demographic split is all too evident. Mind you the visitors seemed to be enjoying whatever was on offer for tea.

Fascinating. I work for a youth cricket charity and there are so many talented youngsters out there who just don't get the opportunities they could. The stats show very clearly that if you are poor, or from an ethnically diverse community you just aren't as likely to play any sport, cricket in particular.

We're trying really hard to help (cricket into 4,000+stats schools a year and 200 cricket projects in deprived communities) but it's hard work!

Poll:

We recruit two strikers, one has to be Bonne or Wickham, who would you have?
