My 13 year old son looked on the mycricket app a few weeks ago as we were driving home from his game and seen that he'd just passed 2000 career runs and let me know.
He then says "I'm gonna try and reach 3000 by the end of this season"
"Yeah mate, you do that" I replied with a rye smile.
The smartarse has now reached 382 for the season and 2292 all up and we haven't left October yet, lucky I'm not a parent that chucks out monetary incentives.
My dearly departed Aunty Yvonne used to offer 20c per run when I was at primary school. I could always bowl, I didn't work out my batting until later in life so she never had to cough up too much. Whatever she did cough up went each way on whatever Johnny Letts was riding in the early 80's that Saturday afternoon anyway.
I was Paddy Payne in the 90's, and whenever Schillaci ran.
