FIRST PERSON

SASHA MOLONEY CRICKETER

I was happiest when ... we adopted our cat, Simba. You wouldn’t know it but … I’m terrified of mice. My most embarrassing moment ... when I cut my hair short. The last time I cried was ... when I hurt my shoulder during a club cricket match. The last book I read was ... The Tattooist of Auschwitz. My favourite films are ... Harry Potter films. I really want to ... sleep under the Northern Lights, in Norway. My guilty pleasure is ... watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Life has taught me … to learn from my mistakes. We’re about to ... play our first Hobart games for WBBL/04. My first job was ... working in administration at an accounting firm. My most memorable (current job) work related moment is … playing for the Hobart Hurricanes in the inaugural WBBL. What I enjoy most about my work is … I get to play a sport I love with some of my closest friends. Cricket is also a sport where you are constantly learning and being challenged, which I love.
