    In cricket or life you never want to get beaten. But the game can bite you, and you can get BITTEN. BITTEN by the game OR SMITTEN by its characters, whatever one may choose to call happened to me in my teens.

Despite Mum’s million warnings, Cricket did BITE me, but it also taught me to BEAT the odds in life.
