I enjoyed Christopher Hudson鈥檚 LinkedIn post this week, which provided a commentary on an episode of Bluey which he said 鈥渉ighlights the quirky, and often hilarious, rules and practices of backyard cricket, but also the dispositions to learning that Rusty gains through participation in sport鈥. Although my children are far too old to watch Bluey with or without their mother, I w ...
