A Week With Australia's Female Cricket Ambassadors


As Female Cricket Ambassadors, Kate Blackwell, Alex Blackwell Delissa Kimmence and Ellyse Perry have the opportunity to travel far and wide raising public awareness of females in cricket and the profile of the Southern Stars.Ellyse and Delissa kicked off 2009 with some pretty amazing activities, the biggest so far was an opportunity to meet the Prime Minster of Australia, The Hon Kevin Rudd PM, at the New Year’s Test in Sydney.On Friday 2nd January, Ellyse joined teammate Lisa Sthalekar at the SCG for an in2Cricket activity day with local club juniors. The Aussie men’s team entertained over 60 kids during their fielding session on the SCG with high catches and fielding drills inspiring the youngsters to greatness before they took to the field for modified in2CRICKET activities. Ellyse and Lisa took part in the activities followed by some interviews, a bbq lunch and a signing session. They were joined later in the day by special guest, wicket-keeper Brad Haddin, who was also a big hit with the juniors
