Australia’s most talented Indigenous cricketers again converge in the Red Centre in 2017 for the National Indigenous Cricket Championships (NICC).
2 | NICC.CRICKET.COM.AU
Last year the NICC was created to run simultaneously with the long standing and successful Imparja Cup. The NICC was created to further advance and develop Indigenous cricket. The competition provides greater playing opportunities here in Alice Springs, but also forms a deeper connection with Australian cricket’s high performance pathway.
It’s my task and the task of all Cricket Australia and State Association staff to continue to lead Australian cricket’s vision to be a sport for all Australians.
On the back of the hard work of our Game Development teams and the success of last year’s NICC we have seen tremendous growth in cricket participation over the last year for Indigenous cricket.
There are now 36,900 Indigenous participants in cricket around the nation. A 40% growth on last year which is a fantastic result.
Beyond this grassroots participation, the NICC is about creating pathways for Indigenous Australians to follow. Pathways that ultimately lead to the next Indigenous Australian pulling on our national colours, just as Faith Thomas, Jason Gillespie
and Dan Christian did before them.
This season, Indigenous players had a huge impact in the Toyota Futures League, Matador Cup, KFC Big Bash League and the Rebel WBBL. Names like Ash Gardener, Hayley Hoffmeister, D’Arcy Short and Dan Christian among others became household names in Australian lounge rooms over summer. There are currently 62 First XI male and female Indigenous players plying their trade in Grade Cricket Competitions around Australia as well as eight State contracted Indigenous players and nine involved in WBBL and BBL.
And this is precisely why the NICC was created: to enhance and expedite the development of Indigenous cricketers.
At the MCG last year we also celebrated the 150 year anniversary of the 1866 Aboriginal XI that played the MCC on Boxing Day. A wonderful recognition of that pioneering team that achieved so much. It was very exciting also to announce that in 2018 our women’s and men’s national Indigenous teams will replicate the steps of the 1868 Aboriginal team that toured England. I’m sure many of the stars we see in action this week in Alice Springs will have an eye on selection for that historic tour.
Thank you to Northern Territory Cricket, the Northern Territory Government, Commonwealth Bank Australia and the Alice Springs Town Council for their generous support.
Similarly, Australian cricket is grateful for the support of the Arrernte people, the traditional owners of the land on which the NICC is staged.
Good luck to all players, staff and officials involved in this year’s National Indigenous Cricket Championships.
DAVID PEEVER
Chairman Cricket Australia
I am pleased to once again welcome all players, officials and sponsors to Alice Springs for the second National Indigenous Cricket Championships and the 24th Imparja Cup. NT Cricket is delighted to be partnering with Cricket Australia to host this national cricket event.
This national carnival of Indigenous cricket and Indigenous culture takes place on Arrernte land and we acknowledge the native-title holders, Lhere Artepe and thank them for their support of this event.
The Imparja Cup, incorporating the National Indigenous Cricket Championships, continues to enjoy strong support from The Lord’s Taverners Australia, the Commonwealth Bank Australia, Cricket Australia, the Federal and Northern Territory Governments, State and Territory Cricket Associations, Alice Springs Cricket Association, Imparja Television, Yeperenyre and other valued sponsors who are acknowledged elsewhere.
We acknowledge the valuable contribution of the Alice Springs Town Council and the Northern Territory Government in maintaining the quality of the playing facilities that are available to you. The energy and hard work of the team of staff from NT Cricket and Cricket Australia ensure this event remains competitive and a real carnival experience for all.
We are grateful for the many match officials, umpires, scorers, statisticians and volunteers who have given their time as a contribution to this carnival and we acknowledge the friends and supporters who have travelled to attend the games and support the teams.
The staging of the National Indigenous Cricket Championships is an important pillar of Cricket Australia’s National Indigenous Cricket Strategy. We are pleased to welcome men’s and women’s teams from State and Territories across Australia as well as community teams from across the Northern Territory and beyond.
I trust that in addition to playing good cricket you will all enjoy exchanging stories of cricket, family and country well after the games have concluded. It is important that we all play our part in making cricket available and accessible to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who wish to participate and to ensure the game is enjoyed by all, and all enjoy the benefits of cricket. Your contribution to the record of Indigenous cricket statistics, stories and memories of the carnival will ensure that we do have Indigenous heroes in the game.
I wish everyone well for the Championships and an enjoyable carnival experience, good story telling and good cricket.

What is the Spirit of Cricket? The laws of cricket clearly explain the expectations of how participants will behave on the field, and they also outline sanctions should these expectations not be met.
The explanation that follows is taken from the MCC Laws of Cricket, which is universally applied across all countries and cultures.
Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game.
Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself.
The role of the captain Team captains hold the main responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play is maintained. There are two laws that reinforce this principle:
Responsibility of players The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the laws.
Player’s conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct the latter to take action.
Fair and unfair play According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required.
Umpire intervention The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of time wasting, damaging the pitch, dangerous or unfair bowling, tampering with the ball, and any other action that they consider to be unfair.
Respect The Spirit of the Game involves respect for your opponents, your own captain and team, the role of the umpires, the game and its traditional values.
Violations It is against the spirit of the game to: dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action, or gesture; direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire; and to indulge in cheating or any sharp practice (for instance, to: appeal knowing that the batsman is not out; advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing; or to seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side).
Violence There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play.
Players Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this.
OF CRICKET
The 1866 Boxing Day match between the Melbourne Cricket Club and an Aboriginal XI, while far from the first cricket game played at the MCG over the festive period, is one of the most notable contests in Australian cricket’s greatest annual tradition.
In an era when Aboriginals were routinely persecuted throughout the colonies of Australia, the fact that a group of Aboriginal players took on a team of whites in a game of cricket at the MCG - and were roundly applauded for it - makes the match a remarkable deviation from the social norm of the time.
The introduction of Aboriginals to the very English game of cricket in the mid-19th century was at its strongest on the sheep stations of western Victoria, where they were recruited to work (unpaid) following the departure en masse of white farmhands to Ballarat for the gold rush of the 1850s.
Not only did the Aboriginal workers take fondly to the sport of their colonisers, they mastered it.
By 1865, an all-Aboriginal team had been formed and they travelled to the town of Hamilton, around 300km west of Melbourne, to take on a local club side consisting entirely of white players. Much to the surprise of locals and their chastened opponents, the Aboriginals were triumphant.
The formation of an Aboriginal team was due in large part to the efforts of Tom Wills, a white man and a talented athlete himself who was a key figure in the creation of the sport now known as Australian football.
And after viewing their skills up close in the country, he was keen to bring them to the big smoke of Melbourne.
With farming duties restricting the availability of the Aboriginal players, a match was agreed to against the Melbourne Cricket Club on Boxing Day, 1866. The reputation of the Aboriginal players had already reached the MCC and, fearing a shock defeat, the hosts began recruiting top players to bulk up their side.
More than 10,000 people were in attendance for the post-Christmas clash, double the crowd for the Victoria v NSW match played in Sydney over the same weekend, and significantly higher than the attendance for the inter-colonial Boxing Day match at the MCG the previous year.
The game itself was a low-scoring affair that finished inside two days; the Aboriginal XI managed only 39 and 87 with the bat, Melbourne’s totals of 100 and 1-27 giving them victory by nine wickets. Wills was not out in both innings and picked up two wickets, while Jonny Cuzens was the pick of the Aboriginal bowlers, taking seven for the match.
But the game held far greater significance than the final result.
In an era of great physical and emotional trauma for their people, this group of Aboriginal men were applauded and celebrated by thousands white Australians, all keen to get a glimpse of their impressive talents.
And there was more adulation to come; Wills took his team to Sydney in the new year and around 12 months later, the Aboriginal side travelled across the globe - minus Wills - for a six-month tour of England comprising 47 matches, thus becoming the first ever Australian sporting team to play abroad.
The names of Mullagh and Cuzens became famous on that tour, where the players were greeted with both fascination and disdain

by the English public. The tourists more than matched their rivals, winning 14 games, losing 14 and drawing 19 in front of crowds in the tens of thousands. Mullagh is said to have finished the tour with an astonishing 245 wickets and almost 1700 runs.
Fast forward to today and almost 37,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders participated in cricket last summer, an increase of 40 per cent on the previous season, while eight Indigenous players (seven males and one female) are contracted at state level, and 10 in either the BBL or WBBL.
December’s celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the 1866 Boxing Day clash included the commemorative artwork on the player’s uniforms, the match stumps and on LED signage around the ground as well as a commemorative pre-match and anthem ceremony with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags to be on display during Anthem Ceremony. These and other key events arranged such as the inaugural Mullagh-Wills Oration was long overdue recognition of these pioneering Aboriginal players, superstar cricketers and men who used their sporting prowess to rise above the cruel punishment their people suffered at the time.
They may have lost the match inside two days, but the fact they were playing at all – viewed today with a 150 years of hindsight – is of far greater significance.
‘Walkabout Wickets’ is about the ‘Cricket Walkabout’ stars, past, present and future. The symbol that I have used for the design means ‘MINKGILL’ which means STAR, from the Aboriginal Dreamtime.
My ancestors would gather all the clans together in the thousands at a special
‘meeting place’ each year for many cultural reasons, including Aboriginal games. The large circle represents the grounds the ‘Walkabout’ team played cricket on. The lines between the smaller circles represent the wickets knocked down by my Aboriginal ancestor cricket players, proudly beating the English players at their own game.
The smaller circles represent the ovals around the Globe. The dark brown circles inside the little circles represent the ‘meeting place’ of the ovals, that past, present and future players play on.
My personal connection to the 1866 team is through the two brother in the team, Mosquito (James Couzens) and Johnny Cuzens. I am Mosquito’s Great, Great Grand-daughter.1866 & 1868 Commemorative Artwork Designed by Fiona Clarke (Kirrae Whurrong Clan)

The Men’s team Design: Daren DunnGamilaroi People “Sundancer”
Ceremonial performances in Aboriginal people are seen as the core of the cultural life. These male stumps represent a “Welcome Dance” from the NSW team to the other Aboriginal teams that are participating in the Imparja Cup.Ceremonies bring together all aspects of our culture – song, dance, body decoration, sculpture and painting... We call this the “Shake a leg Dance.”
The Women’s team Design: Daren DunnGamilaroi People “Sundancer”
The women’s cricket stumps design is about a very important utensil that was and still used by Aboriginal women today. A Coolamon is a hand-crafted wooden dish, which is used by the Aboriginal women when gathering bush tucker. The “Coolaman” played a very important role in a traditional woman’s life just as much as the Aboriginal man with the Didgeridoo.

Respected Wurundjeri elder, Aunty Joy Wandin-Murphy was invited by Cricket Victoria to name the Indigenous cricket program.
Aunty Joy based the name on Woirwurrung words for ‘belong’ – Noogal and ‘success / win’ – Toengorrt Tani.
It is pronouncted Noo-gal Too-en-gort Tarn-e.
Indigenous artist Treahna Hamm designed the logo to represent Victorian Indigenous cricketers.
This is a logo that can be owned and worn by any indigenous cricketer in Victoria.
The design is linked to the members of the 1868 Australian team, composed of Aboriginal men from Western Victoria that toured England. The design also includes the seam of a cricket ball along the Aboriginal flag.
Design concepts by: Guy Grey (Palawa)
The stumps for the Tasmanian team at this year’s championships has bought together some different aspects and objects that are significant to the Aboriginal men and women of Tasmania. The Tasmanian Tiger features prominently and the Aboriginal name for the tiger is ‘kaparunina’ pronounced ka-pa-ru-ni-na. Our people have passed stories down for hundreds of years around this mythical beast and the tigers distinct footprint is also part of the story.
Also featured on the stumps are kelp baskets which emphasise along with shell necklaces the recognition of our women’s status in the community also showcasing their strength and resilience in maintaining one of the few surviving traditional Aboriginal crafts in Tasmania.
The Mutton Bird on the stump represents the grass - roots practice of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community. The cultural practice of mutton-birding is much more than the catching and harvesting of them – it is the one common activity that still brings together sections of the community whose families have practiced this cultural activity over many generations. It will survive for generations to come into the future because it is a part of ‘who we are’.
Also prominent on our stump are two maps of Tasmania. These are showing at one stage “our people were in possession of the whole of Tasmania “and it also shows the different ‘bands’, direct family groups and tribes that were present prior to European invasion.
