Another lovely morning at Derbyshire Cricket Foundation's Parkinson's Cricket. Everyone warmed up with a target ball game, and then throwing and catching different sized balls. Then we focussed on batting practice, trying to hit the ball in as straight a line as possible. Initially they were aiming for Alex (the DCF community officer), but as the batting got more accurate, he wisely moved out of the way and placed a cone as the target.

Tracey had a good workout chasing the balls, and placing them on small cones for the batters to hit. Everyone did really well, and it was amazing to see people's smiling faces as they made visible improvements in accuracy throughout the session. It's not just Harry Brook and Joe Root who are cricketing stars this week.
