National Indigenous Cricket Championships took place in Alice Springs

Thirteen members of the Thunder Nation helped NSW successfully defend its titles in both the Women’s and Men’s divisions at the National Indigenous Cricket Championships in Alice Springs this week.

The NSW Women’s Indigenous team defeated Queensland in the Final to claim a remarkable 13th straight title, while the NSW Men’s team also defeated Queensland in its Final to win its third successive championship.

Coach of the Thunder Indigenous XI Julie Muir took 5/13 in the Final as Queensland were bowled out for 72.

Muir finished the week as the leading wicket-taker with 8 at an average of 5.0.

Thunder Nation’s Dharmini Chauhan, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the opening match of the tournament, was named in the Team of the Tournament known as the Black Caps.

Liddiard, who captains the Thunder Indigenous XI, finished the tournament as the fifth leading run-scorer, with 160 runs at 26.67.
