So I tried AI to tell me what are the parallels between life and cricket. Here's what it came up with: Cricket is a game of skill, strategy and patience. It is also a game of uncertainty, unpredictability and frustration. Life is like cricket in many ways. You never know what kind of pitch you will get, what kind of ball you will face, or what kind of umpire you will encounter. You have to adapt to the changing conditions, play according to your strengths and weaknesses, and hope for the best. Sometimes you hit a six, sometimes you get out for a duck. Sometimes you win the toss, sometimes you lose it. Sometimes you catch a brilliant catch, sometimes you drop a sitter. Sometimes you get a fair decision, sometimes you get a howler. The only thing that matters is how you handle the ups and downs, how you celebrate the victories and learn from the defeats, how you respect your opponents and enjoy the game. Cricket teaches us many lessons about life: teamwork, discipline, perseverance, sportsmanship and humility. Cricket is not just a sport; it is a way of life.

Recently we had one of our younger batters (16) padded up for 2 and half hours during a long partnership. It was a hot day and the youngster sat still during the partnership and then when a wicket fell, was unfortunately out first ball

What advice or tips can you offer younger batters when they’re waiting a long time to bat?

As a young captain I’d like to ask why the Gully position is popular for fast and medium pace bowlers. I tend to see more balls go the 3rd or 4 slip area and wondered should I be using them instead of gully?

Can anyone tell me what the protocols are for head-knocks in junior cricket? I witnessed an incident on the weekend when a young boy was hit in the helmet by a fast bowler. Thankfully, he appeared to be be okay. However, no one knew for certain what to do. On further digging, we found some guidelines from CA, but they were primarily directed at concussion incidents. As the research now suggests, a person doesn't need to be concussed to suffer head trauma.

In the case of children in particular, should there be more stringent guidelines in place to avoid any confusion? EG: If hit in the head or helmet a child should take no further part in the game.

People talk about the importance of winning the toss and batting first in Test cricket in India.
In the 3 Tests so far, India v Australia, the team that has won the toss and batted first has lost the Test match.
Has this happened before in India?
