Cricket is just bloody brilliant isn’t it? To elaborate, it provides us with excitement, community, stats, history, heroes, legends, anecdotes, debate, literature, art, solace, escape, friendship, journalism, a chance for redemption, a chance to connect with nature, belonging.

Here's six of our favourite things from the world of cricket this week, presented by FrogBox Live 🤝 Featuring Westbury,WiltsCc, Sandwich Town CC, Haywards Heath CC and many more 👏 #ClubCricket #VillageCricket

Loneliness by Hopper

Can’t believe it’s been a year. The sun is shining & the Bulldogs have plenty to play for this week - he’d be buzzing. Not sure how Jake, Annie & Smarty mustered the courage for this piece but it’s beautiful. Our hearts still break for them, Jess & Sarah, today and always ❤️🤍💙

Can’t believe it’s been 12 months since we said goodbye to our always smiling mate Sammy. Our love & thoughts go out to the incredibly brave Jake & Annie, & Sam’s sisters. He was a rare gem, forever in the hearts of those who knew him, as this story from Smarty explains. ❤️⭐️

Committed 🔥💙❤️ Kalani White, the son of Demon Jeff White, has nominated Melbourne as his preferred club. 📝 | mfcde.es/3JmVgUE

Special moment for Kalani and the family 😊

A really lovely tribute here from Nick Smart on a terrible anniversary. Sam Landsberger was a friendly, principled, caring young man & incredibly talented sports journalist, universally liked by anyone lucky enough to meet him. Missed by so many. RIP Sam. heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/reme…

Edward Hopper Hotel Lobby, 1943

100% agree with James Hird here 👇surely the AFL and footy lovers of the north should rally to save the Bullants. We’ve lost too many great old clubs. You can’t lose 143 years of history. #savethebullants

The spirit of '55 🔥🗓️ Tonight we renew hostilities, 70 years on from our grand final win over the Pies #DemonSpirit

Damn… we should’ve had that one. Play quick, take the game on in 2026 and we’ll be higher up the ladder. That’s the brand of footy Melbourne Demons needs.
