  • Scope Makes Cricket-Loving 5 Year Old's Dream Come True with The
    6th January 2016 Scope makes cricket-loving 5 year old’s dream come true with the Melbourne Renegades 5 year-old Srihan Gandra dreams of playing on the sporting grounds of Melbourne and smashing a six. Like most other Aussie kids, Srihan spends his summers watching cricket obsessively and mimicking the bowling of his favourite players in his living room. Taking to the field has been more difficult for Srihan as he was born with a developmental delay. On Wednesday January 11th, Srihan’s dream of playing cricket at the MCG will come true when his favourite players from the Melbourne Renegades, Brad Hogg and Peter Nevill will train him one-on-one at the MARS Net Training Session. Leading disability service provider Scope has organised for 11 people, including Srihan, who live with profound disability to learn how to bat, bowl and catch at the personalised training session with the Melbourne Renegades. MARS Australia, the Melbourne Renegades principal partner, is sponsoring the event and providing snacks on the day to keep everyone going throughout the session. MARS Chocolate Australia’s Marketing Director Matt Graham said “Partnering for community development is a critical success factor in any sponsorship agreement we enter into. The opportunity to join forces with a sporting team to give back to the community is fantastic, especially one as family focused, team orientated and exciting as the Renegades.” Scope General Manager of Product, Brand and Marketing Sam McOrist said ‘For people with disabilities, it can be difficult to participate in sports. These difficulties range from limited transport options, inaccessible sites and facilities, and costs’.

    From Flock to Baggy Green From Flock to Baggy Green Gideon Haigh Imprint to go here n team photographs from his era, Joe Darling is invariably near the centre, unsmiling earnestness Iaccentuated by a horseshoe moustache, blazer tight across his broad shoulders. He appears a man not to be trifled with – indeed, his physical strength was a byword, his nickname ‘Paddy’ in token of his resemblance to the heavyweight boxer Paddy Slavin. He looks, in fact, a leader, which is what he was: a brave captain Australia in twenty-one of his thirty- four Tests, a distinguished parliamentarian, and also a woolgrower. His lingering contribution to Australian cricket, indeed, might be felt a combination of the professional, the political and the pastoral. It was on his watch that Australian cricketers first wore the woollen caps and blazers of green and gold in which, as cricket writer Ray Robinson put it, they would be ‘harder to repel than the Spanish Armada.’ 1 Gideon Haigh From Flock to Baggy Green to the nation which they would belong to on their return home’; George Reid spoke of unity ‘with tears in his eyes’. Australian cricket teams over the preceding twenty-one years had played in all colours of the rainbow; something fresh was wanted. The cricketers’ new sage green and gold headgear, manufactured in pure wool and bullion thread by the Collins Street outfitters Louis Potts and Edmund Wilkinson, bore ‘Advance Australia’ on the motto scroll, beneath a prototype coat of arms in informal use for around half a century featuring four panels representing colonial prosperity: a ship (immigration), a pick and shovel (mining), a sheaf (wheat) and a sheep (wool).
