Re: NMCA(formerly Jika) '08/'09
Just looked at NU youth program and it's receipe...it begins as follows:
Find 3 imports.....actually 4, one good enough for 2s cricket only.....that won't hang around unless money is on offer....so keep them happy.
Add 3 veterans.....ensure they are 46 yo keeper, 45 yo bowler....both who's sons play in the same team...sprinkle with one 40 yo fields at 1st slip & bats 10...as he has a limited technique, and struggles to move around the outfield.
Add 4 or 5 kids....who play good cricket and a have a lot to learn.....but be careful not to over inflate their egos...as it will mean pain....when they suffer the wrath of men in other teams.
Mix together on a day...with the top team team having "a bad day" and voila...your youth policy is working.
Get them on the home page of an association website......and watch them carefully.
Let them settle for a week or 2.....play another game......and pop it all goes up in smoke.....
For next week's instalment...they come up against a seasoned team...licking it's lips...wonder what the receipe will bring together!!!
