“Some plan b’s are smarter than others, don’t drink and drive.” NIGHTWATCHMAN NATHAN LYON

Supporting the nightwatchmen of NSW

We thank Cricket NSW for sharing our vision, to help develop and improve road safety across NSW.

Our partnership with Cricket NSW continues to extend the Plan B drink driving message and engages the community to make positive transport choices to get home safely after a night out.

With the introduction of the Plan B regional Bash, we are now reaching more Cricket fans and delivering the Plan B message in country areas.

Transport for NSW look forward to continuing our strong partnership and wish the team the best of luck for the season ahead. Contents 1

Joyce Dalton 20 May 1933 – 16 December 2016 Former Australian Test cricketer and NSW Women’s captain Joyce Dalton is remembered as much for her vibrant personality as supreme sporting ability. Once described as the Bradman of women’s cricket, Dalton died aged 83. While best known as a cricketer, she excelled at a number of sports, also playing squash for NSW. Dalton was a life member of the Bayview Golf Club on the Northern Beaches, where she has an unrivalled record, winning 74 Trophy events and 15 club championships. As a hockey player, she competed in NSW City versus Country matches and was an outstanding junior tennis player. Born in Queensland, she rose to prominence as a cricketer in Sydney. Presented with NSW cap number 71, she debuted for her state in 1952/53 and rose to captain the side two years later. A graceful right-hand batter who could drive powerfully on both sides of the wicket, Dalton played three Tests for Australia in 1958, averaging 34.66 with a top score of 59 not out.

Veteran Brad Haddin tried his best to resuscitate the Sixers. His 38 from 25 deliveries included two towering sixes before he fell to Richardson. His effort didn’t go unnoticed by Henriques when he reflected on the match. “He actually gave us a chance of getting back in and posting a 160-plus total with the way he batted,” said Henriques. “He’s very calm under pressure, he’s a great role model not just as a cricketer but as a person.” SEAN ABBOTT PULLS TO LEG Apart from Henriques (21) and Johan Botha (32) there was little resistance from the Sydney-siders after Haddin was dismissed, and they returned to the field knowing it would be difficult to defend their 141. While it was a disappointing end to the summer, the Sixers could take pride from their improvement on BBL|05, a season in which they finished with the wooden spoon.

After the euphoria of winning the BBL|05 and WBBL|01 titles, the Sydney Thunders’ players, coaches and staff faced the challenge of exceeding the heights of the club’s breakout year. While the retirements of key players Mike Hussey, Jacques Kallis and Andrew McDonald was compounded by the season-ending injury of our title-winning wicketkeeper, Chris Hartley, it opened opportunities for many of our squad’s emerging BBL players. Our WBBL side saw all players return to defend their title and they were boosted by the significant addition of the Indian national team’s dynamic captain, Harmanpreet Kaur.

Supporting the nightwatchmen of NSW

We thank Cricket NSW for sharing our vision, to help develop and improve road safety across NSW.

Our partnership with Cricket NSW continues to extend the Plan B drink driving message and engages the community to make positive transport choices to get home safely after a night out.

With the introduction of the Plan B regional Bash, we are now reaching more Cricket fans and delivering the Plan B message in country areas.

Transport for NSW look forward to continuing our strong partnership and wish the team the best of luck for the season ahead.
