My Activity

question
Q: Ever travelled 1350km in a car to play a game of cricket...?

Not one but two (!) teams did this to participate in our Remote Cricket Carnivals which have been taking place across the #northernterritory in Timber Creek (Dingo Cup), Borroloola (Barra Cup), Katherine (Nitmiluk Cup) and Tennant Creek (Rossy Williams Shield).

Big shout out to the 28 Teams and 175 players, match officials and volunteers who travelled extraordinary distances and across plenty of red dirt between October and February for nothing but a love of the game.

Huge respect to the OGs Marcus Rosas Rossy Williams who started these unique events 20 years ago and much love to the incredible people, teachers, schools, councils and communities that make up the wonderful Northern Territory and who helped and supported.

Next up ... Imparja Cup!

question
Q: "Australia is in some sense punching above its weight, but way below its potential."

This was a statement made by a former National Security Advisor to George W. Bush, when asked about Australia.

This is cricket in the Northern Territory.

We are absolutely punching above our weight, but we are also absolutely punching way below our potential.

We have so much more to offer Australian Cricket.

I say this as Pakistan A (The Shaheens) 👇 today set off from Lahore ... 🛫 ... Darwin bound!
