Describe yourself in 25 words or less ... A typical 18 year old girl who is very
fortunate to have a fantastic group of friends and family and enjoys being fit
and active.
Tell us about the very first time you played cricket? ... In the backyard with
my brother and Dad. The game ended abruptly with the sound of shattering glass
as the ball hitting our back window!
How many hours do you think you have spent playing cricket since then? ... 
Alot more then I care to count!
What’s been your greatest achievement or sporting moment? ... Being able to
represent my country in two sports that I love and having a heap of fun in doing
so.
What’s the best and worst thing about being a champion cricketer? ... Best
would be the wonderful people I've met through playing cricket and the worst
would be the endless jibes from my friends who compare it to 'watching grass
grow'.
What’s on your ipod? ... A real variety! At the moment I love listening to
Halo by Beyonce
What else is taking up your time right now other than playing cricket? ... Uni
and the start of the soccer season
Most treasured possession? ... My baggy green
The motto you live by? ... "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but
today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."
