I'll stay away from the profiling but I agree about the problem and the tendency for certain clubs to be associated with this type of behavior. But it's clear the problem isn't the kids but the adults supervising them, and it's not restricted to cricket.
One big problem that seems to be endemic in junior sport is that the people we really need running the sport usually tend to step away because they refuse to crawl into the gutter to compete with the extremists who are prepared to stoop to new levels of low to obtain there desires.
btw., Warn your little one not to bite back, she'll end up banned, I've seen it happen before!

I can only talk about what I've seen, but the first three rounds of this season have been eye opening.
I don't see why you need to talk to the opposition on the cricket field other than to say you're coming around the wicket. I found the silent treatment a better policy.
I've told my kids the best way to beat the on field pricks is to beat them fair any square, not sink to their level. Actions, not words.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Coulter-Nile, from WA, defending 152, 1 over = 0/16
Thank-fully the team has Langer in command!

To be fair, he was the only one who looked like he knew which end of the bat to hold. Our batting is so bad it doesn't matter who bowls what

Australian cricket will be in the doldrums for a long time to come. I reckon boxing day at the MCG will fall well short in terms of attendances

I don’t know whether that was down to Langer, the skipper or someone else, but opening the bowling with anyone but our best bowler in those circumstances is tantamount to giving up.

Coulter- Nile is a damn fine bowler....not an opeining bowler (yet) at international level but to use the WA connection is putrid....
Learn the game a bit better before you sprout such BS...
Finals, then 4 in a row!
