October 20, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Star batsman Chris Lynn is used to big hitting, but last Saturday he was a big hit with junior cricketers in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Lynn is the Big Bash League’s all-time leading run-scorer and currently runs out with the Adelaide Strikers, but he’s also been a force internationally for Australia and in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n

He led South Burnett youngsters through batting drills in the nets at Lyle Vidler Oval … drills that he still does today despite his success.<\/p>\n

While some cricketers were practising their batting, others were practising how to catch and roll, under the watchful eye of South Burnett Cricket Association’s Dan O’Connor.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s Smash South Burnett Out of the Park” was a partnership between the South Burnett Regional Council and the South Burnett Cricket Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council also took the opportunity to distribute “Get Ready” information to families.<\/p>\n

The junior cricketers will be in action for real this weekend, with Round 1 of the Stage 2 and Stage 3 competitions scheduled to be played.<\/p>\n
