Lord's Taverners Australia is proud to have been supporting the "Lord's Taverners International Blind Cricket" for many years and it was wonderful to have our Chairman Greg Brown attend many of the events. He continues to be inspired, as we do, by the difference the event makes in the lives of so many people, not only in sport but in the rest of their lives. Thank you to everyone who supports and partners with us as together we are making a real difference in the lives of others that often do not get the opportunity.

History

Australia developed the game of Blind Cricket, a sport which is now played throughout the world. The game had its beginnings in 1922 in Melbourne, Victoria where it was first played at a hostel in Prahran, a suburb of Melbourne. At the time of a Test Match, two residents thought blind people could play cricket as well, and put rocks in a tin can and began to play a crude version of what we play today. The game was then introduced to other States in Australia and was mainly played during lunchtime at workshops where vision impaired people were employed."
