You gotta have Faith
Darrian Traynor
83-year-old Indigenous woman Faith Thomas visited Indigenous cricket's Imparja Cup in Alice Springs in February 2015 to inspire the next generation of Indigenous cricketers.
Faith was the first Aboriginal woman to play international cricket for Australia; indeed, she was the first indigenous woman to be selected to play any sport for Australia. In 2004, she was still the only Aboriginal woman to represent Australia in cricket. Thomas played cricket, along with hockey and squash, while training in Adelaide to be a nurse. (She was one of the first Aboriginal nurses to graduate from the Royal Adelaide Hospital; she went on to be the first to a hospital.)
