Jamie Mitchell is a former Australian under-19s cricketer who now works at Autism Tasmania in a support coordination role.

Jamie courageously shared with me that he has been living with bottled up stress and PTSD for decades, after he was the victim of a traumatic incident that occurred while on a tour of India and Sri Lanka when he was 18. He has recently spoken out publicly about his sexual assault and the lack of support available for male survivors of sexual violence.

Jamie was open, vulnerable, and honest in discussing the impact it has had on himself and those around him. His story shines a light on the importance of creating an open conversation around Men’s mental health and male sexual abuse.

Bill Murdoch – Part 1 – Richard Cassman and Ric Sissons

Billy Murdoch was a colossus of Australian cricket in the 19th century. He captained Australia in its first victory on English soil giving rise to the Ashes, and as a stylish but determined batsman, he scored the first triple century in Australia and the first Test double century. He’s often been called Australia’s answer to W.G. Grace. But he courted controversy too. Bankrupted in his 20s, he secretly married the daughter of Victoria’s wealthiest gold miner without his permission. He emigrated to England in 1890, as he and his wife aspired to make it in Edwardian society, often living beyond their means. He even played a solitary Test for England in South Africa. But what do we make of Murdoch’s cricketing legacy today, and is he unfairly forgotten?

In this episode, we look at the backend of Murdoch's life & career as it falls within the 'Golden Age', and for the first time on this podcast I welcome two guests to discuss a subject:

Richard Cashman is a sports historian based at the University of Technology Sydney. He is the author of 12 cricket books as well as his memoirs, Cackyhander: Writing on Cricket, Sports History and the Olympic Games. He has won the Australian Cricket Society Literary Award on three occasions: for his book on Australian cricket crowds, and his biographies of Fred Spofforth & Billy Murdoch, the latter co-written with my other guest.
