"Cricket for Change has enabled me to make good friends, to experience things that I never thought possible; it has given me confidence in challenging life situations."
Poet's Corner at Cricket for Change
Jul 5, 2010
This wonderful poem was written by Georgie Gale (sister of Jon Gale, Surrey BACD team and England) during the England Disability match at Canterbury on 2nd July 2010:
They may be challenged with different needs
but this unique cricket team
proves that talent comes from within
no matter disability, gender, or skin
A blind person who cannot see
couldn’t play cricket, or so it would seem
but you watch him swing that bat
even Pieterson couldn’t sweep like that
A person who has only one leg
doesn’t hide his talent
to bowl a cricket ball with brilliant aim
due to his perfect balance
A learning disability
that makes it harder at school
doesn’t effect their amazing skill
when bowling a cricket ball
Cricket for Change brought this talent together
from north, south, east, and west
now give them a bat, ball and cricket field
and watch them at their best
By Georgie Gale - July 2010
