Cricketing legends visit St Chris

Students from St Christopher's School were lucky enough to receive some coaching from a host of cricketing legends. The children had a chance to bat and bowl against legends such as

Geoff Cook: England 7 tests, 6 ODIs (1981-3), now coaches Durham CCC

Haroun Rashid: Pakistan 23 tests, 12 ODIs (1977-83), now heads the Pakistan Cricket Academy

Mushtaq Mohammed: Pakistan 57 tests, 10 ODIs (1959-79), captained Pakistan on 19 occasions

Anshuman Gaekwad: India former test batsman, national selector and coach

Geoff Cook was so impressed that he decided to come back to school for an extra few days coaching. He provided the senior school students with a Cricket Clinic on coaching, various batting, fielding and bowling skills. He commented that "they were as talented aa any group of children that he coaches".

Thanks to David Axtell for arranging the trip.
