As a batter runs are your currency and it’s great to see Ryan Hackney follow up his maiden first class century for NSW by scoring big runs for his club Parramatta in NSW Premier Cricket.

In the month of March, Ryan has scored.

• 50 and 51 not for Parramatta v Mosman
• 73 for Parramatta v Sutherland
• 99 and 15 for NSW 2nd XI v ACT
• 78 and 102 for NSW v South Australia
• 51 for Parramatta in their quarter final against St George
• 130 for Parramatta in their semi-final against Randwick Petersham
• 193 not for Parramatta in the Grand Final against Sydney University.

On the back of this form, and his ability to occupy the crease and bat long into an innings, one can only assume Ryan will get the opportunity to start next season opening the batting for NSW.

Well played Ryan Hackney.

I’m a left arm orthodox bowler and like to attack the off stump. Should I have a 5/4 field with 5 on the off side or 5 on the leg side?

As a baseball catcher I’d like to ask about the relationship between the bowlers in cricket and the wicket keeper.
Baseball catchers offer signals to the pitcher so we know what pitches will be thrown. Do wicket keepers do the same as I can’t seem to pick up any.
How does the wicket keeper know what the bowler is going to bowl?

We have a difficult selection decision to make going into our season about our wicket keeper.
One of our top order bats (averaged 38 last season) keeps ok but is prone to a few mistakes a game especially to our spinners whereas we have a really good keeper who hardly makes a mistake but only averaged 16 with the bat and bats around number 8.
What our people’s thoughts on who to choose?

BBL. I’m really confused how Cameron White missed out on the Melbourne Stars coaching job and it was given to Peter Moore who twice coached England. Am I the only one?

My son has trouble playing leg side shots. Gets hit on the pads or just misses the ball.
Is it because he’s trying to hit the ball too hard?

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.

I’d like to ask why there seems to be a big push for Travis Head to be opening the batting in Test cricket.
He’s such a valuable player and scored all his runs at No 5. Just wondering why, the push to open?
