Story

My name is Jackson I am 9 and I live and breathe cricket! 

The most balls ever faced in a test match is 847 by Len Hutton in 1938. I LOVE batting - so on July 25th I will be going to the nets and trying to beat that record - by batting for 850 balls 🏏 

We will live stream on the day  via my Instagram @thecricketkid so follow us so you can watch along! 

If you can donate just 1p per ball I face - that will be £8.50 and every bit will make a big difference to this charity.

Each year, 14,000 parents of children under 18 are diagnosed with incurable cancer. The Ruth Strauss Foundation Test Match will help us to make this happen!Thank you for helping us to turn #redforruth in support of families facing one of life's greatest tests.
