About the Book

Stand up and watch the ball …Watch the ball like a hawk!

Jason is bubbling with excitement on his ninth birthday when he’s given a cricket ball and some advice by a famous international player. Join Jason and his mates on their journey from spectator to State Squad, facing fired-up bowlers and unleashing balls at well-drilled and crafty batsmen, as they learn the mental and physical skills needed to make it in sport. Brimming with cricket facts, and information on sportsmanship and sporting culture, this is a great inspirational read for everyone, at all levels, who loves cricket or any sport.
