The countdown is well and truly on to WBBL01 and BBL05. To celebrate my first season as a member of the Sydney Thunder I’ve decided to create a bucket list. I’m hoping to tick each of these items off by the end of the season and I promise to keep you all up to date on how […]

Introducing the Thunder Bus
I have a confession to make. For me – it’s not all about winning. When I pick a team to throw my support behind, for me to remain a passionate and engaged fan, I need to be proud of the way my team operates not just on the field, but off the field. This is […]
Famous Sydney Thunder fans
When I became a Sydney Thunder member this year, I had no idea that I was joining such a group of famous fans. Did you all know that some of the most recognisable people in the world are part of the #ThunderNation? I’m actually feeling a little bit star struck. This wasn’t mentioned in any tweets, any Facebook […]
Our Usman makes history
There’s only one thing I love more than seeing the Sydney Thunder win on the field and that’s seeing our players shine when they are fulfilling their other representative obligations.

For anyone who knows me, you know that I have a habit of picking favourite players… here’s my first story for Thunder Nation Life about my journey […]
LwLegspin Thesaurus: Night watchman
As promised, as part of our foray into cricket, we’re going to try at least once a week to explain one of our favourite cricket terms and then illustrate it with a helpful example. Our cricket term for today is ‘night watchman’. A night watchman is a traditionally a lower order batsman that is sent […]
Babes at the cricket
I think it’s fair to call cricket a very divisive sport. I kind of put it in the same category as Formula 1 and golf – you either love it or you hate it. For the record, I’m not a fan of either Formula 1 or golf. But I am a fan of cricket. It […]
Introducing – Ladies who Legspin
I hope I got your attention with that photo… but I promise the situation is not so dire that I need to read that book. I have a small announcement to make. Ladies who League are ready for a growth spurt. For the past 2 and a half years, our focus has been rugby league. […]
