Proof we're actually touring.

Important information for Blog followers.

Below is a schedule of the upcoming tour. Many people have asked me who are we playing, what cities are we visiting, what time do we need to get to the airport? Each time I shrug my shoulders and tell my family "I dunno".

Training Day!!!

Things are heating up in Hornsby

The Barker College Sri Lanka touring squad had a pre-tour training session at the Hallowed grounds.
It was hot - a stifling 30 deg - though it appears to be 8-10 deg below what the squad will experience from the 5th January.

Putting in for the final 15 minutes of training

If we hit the ball this hard in training, image how many extra bats we will need to take...

Training finished with one of the best things for the session - TOUR KIT.
Thank you Mr. Thomlinson.

ONE MONTH TO GO!

Welcome to December....

With a month to go until the Barker Cricket Touring Team (aka. The Blue Caps) jet out to Colombo, the coaches thought it would be appropriate to remind all visitors, especially some of the forgetful Year 10's - that there is a Pre-Tour training session at the Barker Oval main nets on 29th December at 10:00am. If you forget, you may see some disappointed coaches...



It is there you'll receive all your tour goodies; and who doesn't love kit?
Mr. Thomlinson LOVES kit...



Have a Merry Christmas and we'll see you all at Barker on the 29th.
