Northern Sydney Girl's Cricket Association is a junior all-female cricket association. As an association, they think it is important for their players and other members to have an awareness of other forms of cricket, particularly those that support the development of cricketers who have disabilities. We support them in return, and encourage you to visit their site.

The first Blind Cricket Ashes competition was held in England in August 2004. 5 matches were played, with England winning the Ashes by 3 games to 2. A return series of 5 matches was held in Sydney, Australia, in December 2008. The series results show another victory for England, winning 3-0. England won the 1st, 3rd and 4th matches, with the second rained out, and the final match a surprising 331 run draw. Player of the series was Australian B3 player Nick Haydar (Nejat Haydardedeoglu) from ACT. - Wikipedia Follow the link to the International section of our site. |
