Anything up there is gone. Anything short he's up swanny river without a paddle standing next to the square leg umpire more often than not

How has no-one else not commented on how dodgy this video was in terms of safety. Surely Daws could of killed that old guy he nearly hit at the end...?

I was thinking the same at the start, I was wondering if they had nets protecting them! Insane!!

Dawson looked like he was having fun smacking them balls. I think he chose the right sport, he would have killed a pensioner by now going for sixes!

It's not that surprising, there was always a selection of lucky bastards who were the best at every sport in PE at school.
there were a few of us at my senior school who were mainstays of any sports team our year our put out but none of us was what you'd call spectacular!
From the mid 90's so much emphasis was put on technique, some of the colts at my cricket club bat like Gower & Vaughan and they aren't even in their teens yet!
Coaching standards have improved so much in the last 20 years in this country, its having a fantastic effect and the levels if playing ability have improved so much!
