About 

Why this?

Other elite sports in Australia, such as the AFL, outdoor cricket, and the NRL, have somewhere players and fans can go to see all their current players, their statistics, and their history. Indoor cricket does not have this - it has a fragmented collection of websites run by different people, with much old information not making it into the digital age at all. For example, do you know who the first captains of Australia were?

​

But indoor cricket has a rich history in this country, and it does not deserve to be invisible. We love this sport - it has given us so much, so we need to give back to it. We can't let the people who built our game disappear.

Our Story

In September 2023, we were having dinner on our last night at the U22 Women Australian training camp in Brisbane. Our coach, former Australian player and Hall of Famer, Cindy Kross, remarked that records of so many of her games have been lost, and that many juniors, including us, have no idea of the past champions of the sport.

​

We agreed that we didn't know, and they did not sit well with us.

​

A few days later at home, after each thinking deeply about it and not knowing the other was doing the same, we began messaging about creating some sort of central collection of indoor cricket records. This could actually work. And we had to do it.
