Peace and joy at the crease after a life dented by war and tragedy

Peace and joy at the crease after a life dented by war and tragedy - Cricket

(Peter Roebuck/Sydney Morning Herald, 3.2.06)

I'm not normally a huge Peter Roebuck fan - I find his attempts at impersonating Neville Cardus in his match reports to be rather irritating - but he can do some pretty remarkable stuff when he gets away from the actual field of play. It's the story of a Somalian refugee who lost a leg during the civil war in his home country who now plays cricket on weekends in western Sydney.
