So, yeah, put the three boys on 10 acres.

So it was quite nice to have a bit of space.

Dad put us in goalposts, but that didn't work.

I can't cook did my best definitely could kick off both feet I did you know all that stuff when you're a kid you know like I you know just practiced like and it was just fun yeah and I think it definitely helps you when you make it up into this level yeah done all that yeah as a kid and things so yeah spent heaps of time outside doing it yeah

But, yeah, cricket was awesome.

So by the time I was kind of 13, we were playing for my older brother, playing, like, senior cricket, but, like, grade.

Oh, funny that.

Yeah.

Because there was no school cricket and things for the school.

I went to Rose Hall.

It was just club.

So we were playing that kind of senior stuff.

Yeah, so playing against –

teenagers and even older adults from 13.

And then I made the prems for the cracker team, probably at 14 as well.

So, um, playing decent cricket against kind of good cricketers, men, um, from a young age kind of was pretty awesome.

And then I made, uh, probably by 15 or 16, I think I made the county's, uh, men's cricket team.

Playing like Hawk Cup.

So, and that was, um, we had Ian Butler and,

He's played for New Zealand, Darryl Tuffy as well, a couple of times when he was back from... And you're what, 15?
