What is it about Cricket that allows

it to hurdle the Campion 6th form entrance challenge ?

"Meanwhile, Campion College also secured a spot in the semi-final following a 164-run win over Tarrant High on Wednesday. Campion finished as Group A winners on 22 points, while the other semi-finalist from the group will be decided next week.

Scores: Campion College 207-9 dec; Tarrant 46."


Attracts a more cerebral player than Football ?

Probably explained by the fact that school cricket is now a VERY minor sport which generates next to ZERO public notice. Track & football suck up 90% of the oxygen around school sports...for better or worse

No one cares about school cricket....unfortunately. So there is no focus on this minor pastime from most schools

But congrats on this outstanding achievement

How long has it been a very minor sport ?

What yuh getting at? Some people can't subtract 178 runs from 243 runs? Is that cerebral part? Cause carrying that one can be a bitch.

Not even going there.. is di gleaner after all..

Mi waan know how Cricket performance can manage the transition from 5th form to 6th form unlike Football.. there is a marked drop off between Under-15 and Under-19 due to attrition.. (it nuh easy fi get innah Campion 6th form)

The metrics that could shed light on this are not tracked

Too minor an issue to waste the time and effort

[Muadib]

Nope. I'm saying school cricket is not popular at any stage. From 1st thru 6th Form it's a very minor pastime...akin to hockey

But this doesn't detract from Campion's magnificent semi final placing.

Bravo!!!
