Shane Bond!!

We were so lucky to have Shane Bond, a world famous cricketer and proud Cantabrian, come in to talk to us today. We learned that Shane can bowl at 150 kilometres per hour (km/h) - 1 1/2 times faster than the fastest speed cars are allowed to go! The wonderful team at the National Bank put on a free lunch for us, as well as each child receiving a cool mini cricket bat, National Bank cap and Black Caps poster! Thanks to Eli's mum, Jo, for winning such a wonderful prize for us all!

  3. Wow, that looks like an amazing experience! We at Bradford Moor love cricket too and have a coach from Warwickshire CC come in and coach us. I wonder who your favourite cricketers are... Mine has to be Kevin Pietersen.
