Daughter starting to play in the local "Smash it" U11 girls league this weekend.
The parents have to do all of the various jobs and I'm really hoping I don't get thrown straight into the deep end either umpiring or scoring (I've just had an hour long intro session into the Play Cricket scoring app - ugh).
Watching cricket, and playing recreationally/occasionally at school thousands of years ago, is all a bit different to trying to keep an eye on things during a real game, even if it is a bunch of U11's.
If I do end up being the best option for an umpire it'll be chaotic to say the least.
