You made it to the end nodding, didn't you.

That's the thing we reckon a lot of blokes forget. It was never meant to be a second job. Just a hit, a laugh, and a cold one to sort out who won.

That version never went anywhere. Same game you grew up on, still here, still daft, now with a roof over it.

So if you've been telling yourself you're "done with cricket", you're probably just done with the version that made it hard work.

Summer season starts Monday 21 September. Bring the old crew or come solo and we'll sort you a team.

The off-season's dragged on long enough.

Your bat hasn't seen daylight since March, and you're itching for a hit.

Good news is it's nearly time. Round up the old crew and get your team sorted, because when rego opens the comps fill quicker than you'd reckon.

Are you ready?

Every kid who loves cricket has the same tell.

They'll bowl at a rubbish bin for an hour and they reckon every lbw shout is highway robbery.

Give that energy a proper court and watch what happens. Room to swing a bat properly, a ball that comes on, and a good honest run around with no screen in sight.

Turns out the best thing for a cricket-mad kid is just more cricket.

Modbury's home for the next generation having a crack.

So. Out of excuses yet?

The knees, the whole-weekend thing, the "I'd be hopeless now" worry.

We've heard it all.

Same game you miss. None of the six-hour days in the sun.

You're in, you're out in 90 minutes, home while the night's still young and can still watch your wife's favourite reality show.

Bring the old side, drag a mate, or rock up solo and we'll find you a team.

Summer season starts Monday 21 September.

That crouch isn't an accident. Soft hands out in front, weight low, eyes locked on the ball well before it gets there.

It looks simple. It's actually one of the harder things to teach, reading the ball early enough to already be in position when it arrives.

Skills like that don't stay on the court either. Anticipation, quick decisions under pressure, that's the stuff that carries over into everything else a kid does.

If your kid would like to give indoor cricket a try, get in touch and we'll sort them out.

Every game ends the same way, gloves off, bag packed, and one big decision left.

Some reach for water. Some head straight for the bar. Some just deny they need either and limp to the car anyway.

What's your go-to after a big night on the court?
