Anyone else watching?
Thoroughly enjoying this series as I did the first, different this time as Freddy has his own psychological challenges.

I wonder if we, the "1st world" are the ones who made cricket so elitist here? Considered a posh sport here, but played on every street corner in a country where poverty is really prevalent.

I actually didn't realise it was considered quite so elitist. I played cricket at school (hated it!) and it certainly wasn't either a posh, or a private school. My Mum also played cricket at school and that was in the 1930's and definitely not at a posh school.

I would have thought polo, or even golf, trumped cricket in terms of elitism.

Hope those boys go on to bigger and better things, and I shall keep an eye out for Adnan playing at least for the county, if not the country.

I have just watched the last episode with a lump in my throat! So sad it's finished but what an inspiring series. Well done to everyone involved and good luck to Freddie with with his plan to start a countrywide "Field of dreams".

So sad to read that one of the lads from the first series, Umar, has died in a car crash along with a young passenger.
