Today, we engage in an important conversation about a topic that has impacted, can impact, and could continue to impact everyone in the cricket community.

You would no doubt be aware when watching Test Cricket this summer, that the Cancer Council and The Australian Government have partnered with Cricket Australia to deliver the sun smart message to TV and live audiences at games.

But the big question is what has been done at a local level in community cricket.

Last year, the Hunter Melanoma Foundation (HMF) in Newcastle entered a partnership with the Cardiff District Boolaroo (CB’s) Cricket Club. The partnership is unique and the first of its kind in the Hunter and Newcastle Region.

Together they’re working on educating the players and members about sun safety and early detection of melanoma using various means.

Let’s introduce our guest Claudia Tolhurst – Executive Officer of the Hunter Melanoma Foundation and Paul Hillier the Vice President of the Cardiff Boolaroo District Cricket Club

Those of you who love to read about cricket will no doubt share the view that Australia has always been blessed with fine, thoughtful writers to rival the best from anywhere in the cricket universe - Fingleton and Knox come to mind and certainly the great philosophical writers like Roebuck and the prolific wordsmith Gideon Haigh.

This Conversation with Sarah Kanowski has all of the usually careful construction of Haigh speaking or writing but the feelings are something new and at times unsettling. The book is “My Brother Jazz” (Melbourne University Press 2024).

Corey Rocchiccioli is pushing to be Australia's next Test spinner having been the leading spin-bowler in Sheffield Shield cricket the past two seasons. It's not been a straight forward journey to become Western Australia's first-choice spinner though.

At 18, 'Roc' was playing 4th grade and after changing grade clubs, he was the 7th choice spinner at University CC. But through "being naive", a sheer love of cricket, curiosity and, an incredible work ethic, Rocchiccioli has been instrumental in Western Australia's back to back to back Sheffield Shield victories and is well and truly on the radar of the Aussie selectors.

I've been fortunate to have some amazing guests on The Cricket Mentoring Podcast. Corey Rocchiccioli isn't the biggest name we've had but this was the longest and most in depth and insightful chat we've ever had.

This podcast, broken into 2 episodes, is full of value and so many practical tips anyone can implement into their sport or life.

It's an inspiring story and one that has so much to still come. I hope you enjoy listening to/watching it as much as I did.

Adam Voges, The Art of Coaching, the IPL and Building a Sustainable Winning Culture

Adam Voges had an exceptional career as a player and in a short time as a coach, has already achieved some remarkable things. His Western Australian team have won both the Sheffield Shield Title and One Day Cup for the past 3 seasons while the Perth Scorchers won back-to-back titles meaning his teams have won 8 of the last 9 domestic trophies. This success has inevitably meant 'Vogesy' is expected to be the next coach of Australia by many people in the know.

This was an awesome chat about Vogesy's coaching career, his coaching philosophies, coaching in the recent IPL, building a sustainable winning culture, the traits he looks for in young players, mindset, perfectionism, parenting athletes and a whole lot more.

Leigh Burns – Founder and CEO Lacuna Sports

This is a wonderful chat with a woman who is changing the landscape for girls and women’s clothing in the sport of cricket. An American by birth who has lived in London for the past twenty years Leigh actually saw her first game of cricket in Australia but years later when her daughter started playing the game in London, Leigh could see that the players uniforms were totally tailored for boys.

She set about changing the landscape for young girls and women for both their on-field clothing and off field team wear and is succeeding!

This is a wonderful discussion not only about her desire to provide bespoke on and off field uniforms but also how Leigh has developed a portal for female players to access all the information required about girls/women’s cricket and has also engaged the assistance of former England player Lydia Greenway to assist her.

Richard Chee Quee, often remembered as a trailblazer in Australian cricket, carved a unique career on the field with his distinctive flair and talent. Chee Quee gained recognition playing first-class cricket as an opening batsman for New South Wales from the early 1990s. Celebrated for his vivacious playing style and impressive performances, including a noteworthy century against the West Indies in Newcastle and match winning hundred in the 1993/4 Mercantile Mutual Cup Final against WA at the SCG. Chee Quee has been equally impactful off the field, inspiring many multi cultural kids to play and love the game. His passion for life continues showcasing his artistic side as the frontman of the band ‘Six & Out’, further cementing his reputation as a versatile entertainer.

In this captivating episode of the Cricket Library podcast, host Matt Ellis welcomes the former New South Wales cricketer to reflect upon his unique cricketing journey. The conversation promises an intimate exploration of Chee Quee’s early fondness for the sport, shaped by iconic West Indies teams and rugged backyard matches with his brother Michael.

Delving deep into the narrative of Richard Chee Quee’s foray into cricket, the episode recounts nostalgic tales of his initiation into organised cricket and the eventual progression onto the first-class stage with New South Wales. Discussions resonate with recounting his remarkable performances, key influences that shaped his career, and his present-day passions beyond the field.

The episode unearths the significance of heritage, brotherhood, and personal growth that extended from the green expanses of cricket grounds to the lively setting of music stages. The shared moments with his brother, the identification with the West Indies, and confronting adversity both on the field and through societal biases have shaped a multifaceted life. The insights gained from Chee Quee’s reflections reveal a universal truth: our beginnings often shape our paths, but our choices make the story. Through it all, Richard’s constant has been entertaining and uniting people, whether through sport or music, leaving an indelible mark not only in the archives of cricket but also in the hearts of music enthusiasts.
