Wow!! Just back from XPRO U13s cricket tour of Sri Lanka. Created a lifetime of memories as Lead Coach. Met with my old pal Roy Dias. The tour organised by Dalu Tours was exceptional. Played 6 games, trained in the nets at Galle and met some amazing people. ๐๐๐

@RupertLowe10 I worked on many offshore construction vessels for decades that had people from multiple countries, religions and skin shades. The only diversity that mattered were the skills each person brought to the team to make a safe working environment. No one cared about anything else.

I don't care about diversity, and nor should you - we should judge people on character and ability alone. White, black, gay, straight, man, woman. It does NOT matter. I'm not interested in diversity - let's focus on MERIT.

Unbelievable cricket experience for the ๐นCAG U12s Boys at the Rugby School Cricket Festival over the past 3 days. Won 2 x 45 over matches. Lost 2 x T20 matches. Developing players was the theme and it was great to see the improved performances individually and collectively ๐๐
