Young Port Pirie cricketers play on Adelaide Oval in front of Test crowd

06 Feb, 2012 04:08 PM
Young Port Pirie cricketers Deakin Murphy and Cameron Williams were thrilled to play on Adelaide Oval recently.

The MiloIn2Cricket players gave an on-field demonstration at the lunch break during day four of the recent test match.

The favourite cricketer of both players is Australian test captain Michael Clarke, who they were delighted to see play.

Both of the Pirie cricketers made runs in front of the test crowd.

MiloIn2Cricket kids joined fellow participants from around South Australia in practicing their skills during the lunch break of the fourth Test between Australia and India.

The emphasis of the MiloIn2Cricket program is on fun and involvement for children aged five to 10 years.

It provides them with the opportunity to develop cricket skills, physical fitness, social skills, sportsmanship and an understanding of the wonderful game of cricket.

On top of that everyone receives an exciting starter pack exclusive to the program including; a bat, a ball, a T-shirt, a bucket hat, a backpack, Milo products and more.

Speaking at the MiloIn2Cricket program launch earlier this year, Australian captain, and Milo ambassador Michael Clarke declared the demonstrations a fantastic experience for the young boys and girls.

“It’s a great initiative and an amazing opportunity that Milo and Cricket Australia give the MiloIn2Cricket kids,” he said.

“They absolutely love practicing their skills on the premier grounds in front of huge crowds,” he said.

Clarke is the first MILO cricket program graduate to be selected for the Australian team and he harbours fond memories from his own time spent in the program.

“I remember the first time that I got to play on the SCG as a Milo kid.”
