In my bag:
- BDM equipment, helmet, cap, bandana, puma boots, large sheet with “BOLAND BO ALLES” and the Boland badge that is hung at every Boland Women’s game (come support us and you’ll see it) and 6 pegs. Lobello sunblock. Chewing gum. Bouncing ball
Why do you love Cricket and why is it so important to you?
- I can remember playing cricket in my back garden since an early age and going to watch every cricket game at Newlands. I’ve grown up loving the game, both playing and watching. It’s the best game in the world!
