Pick 09 - Darkness Eternal - #13 DemurePrincess

Sweet Cricket Association Draft Profile: Demure Princess


With pick number 9 in the 2024 Sweet Cricket Association (SCA) Draft, Darkness Eternal secured a remarkable talent in Demure Princess, a fearless batswoman with a blend of elegance and country grit. Raised on a sheep farm near Ballarat, Victoria, Demure Princess grew up playing cricket with her brothers on dusty paddocks and makeshift pitches before rising to prominence as one of Australia’s most promising batters. Her journey is punctuated by moments of brilliance, but it’s her unshakeable mentality that has already become legendary in cricket circles.

A Country Girl with Big Dreams​

Born Emily-Jane Russell, the nickname "Demure Princess" began as teasing from her brothers, who poked fun at her quiet nature and insistence on always wearing her floppy sunhat while batting. But as her father, Graham Russell, explains, the name stuck for a completely different reason.

"She might’ve looked like a little princess, but put a bat in her hands, and she turned into a warrior," Graham says. "Her brothers would bowl bouncers at her, and she’d hook them right into the dam without a second thought."

Her mother, Margaret Russell, believes Emily-Jane’s country upbringing shaped her steely resolve.

"Life on a farm teaches you to deal with hard times and challenges," Margaret says. "That same determination shines through in her cricket. She’s not afraid of putting in the hard yards to succeed."

Making a Statement in Grade Cricket​

By age 15, Emily-Jane had outgrown local junior competitions and was invited to play senior cricket with the Ballarat Bushrangers. It was here, in her first match against the men’s side, that her legend began to grow.


Facing a bowling attack filled with seasoned players, Demure Princess had already impressed with her assured shot-making when the team’s notorious short-leg fielder, Barry “Baz” Holloway, began targeting her with sledges. His comments turned nasty, questioning whether her inclusion was just a diversity and inclusion selection.

"Baz was relentless," recalls her captain, Luke Anderson. "He kept saying stuff like, ‘Nice to see the princess here to tick a few boxes.’ It was disgusting, but she didn’t rise to it—at least, not with words."

What came next would define her reputation for years to come. The very next ball, spotting a short delivery, she unleashed a ferocious pull shot that sent the ball crashing into Baz’s groin with sickening force.

"He went down screaming immediately, clutching himself," Anderson says. "And there she was, calm as anything, strolling down the pitch and saying, ‘Welcome to the D&I club, punk.’"

Baz was carried off the field with ruptured testicles, while Demure Princess went on to score 62 not out, steering her team to a comfortable win.

"That was the day we all realized she was more than just a talented cricketer," Anderson adds. "She had a toughness you don’t see every day."

Rising Through the Victorian Ranks​

Following her exploits in grade cricket, Demure Princess quickly rose through Victoria’s junior and state systems. Under the mentorship of former Victorian opener Debbie “Diesel” O’Donnell, she refined her technique, becoming a complete batter.

"Emily-Jane’s timing is something you can’t teach," O’Donnell says. "She can pierce gaps with ease, but she’s also got the power to clear boundaries when needed. And don’t let her calm demeanor fool you—she’s as fierce a competitor as they come."

Her breakout performance came in the Women’s National Championships, where she smashed a scintillating 122 off 98 balls in the final, leading Victoria to victory.

"That innings was a masterclass in pacing a chase," O’Donnell recalls. "She soaked up pressure early and then tore into the bowling attack once she was set. She’s got an incredible cricket brain."

Darkness Eternal’s Savvy Pick​

When Demure Princess fell to pick 9, Darkness Eternal wasted no time snapping her up. For Captain Boncer34, it was a no-brainer.

"She’s the full package," Boncer34 said after the draft. "Technique, temperament, and a little bit of fire when it’s needed. I don’t care what pick she was—she’s going to be a match-winner for us."

Boncer34 also addressed the infamous short-leg incident, framing it as an example of her mental toughness.

"Look, that story is already folklore, and for good reason. It shows she won’t take a backward step. In the SCA, you need players like that—calm under pressure but ready to fight back when the moment calls for it."

The Road Ahead​

As Demure Princess prepares to make her professional debut, those who know her best have no doubts about her ability to handle the challenges ahead.

"She’s been working for this moment her whole life," says Graham Russell. "She’s not here to make up the numbers—she’s here to dominate."

O’Donnell believes her humility and work ethic will make her a role model for young cricketers.

"Emily-Jane represents the best of country cricket," O’Donnell says. "She’s proof that you don’t need to come from a city academy to make it big. You just need talent, grit, and determination."

As for Demure Princess herself, she’s staying grounded but focused.

"Being picked by Darkness Eternal is a dream come true," she said. "But the hard work starts now. I’m here to help the team win, and that’s what I plan to do."

Final Thoughts​

Demure Princess combines elegance at the crease with an unshakeable will to succeed, making her one of the most exciting players to emerge from this year’s draft. Whether she’s driving gracefully through the covers or teaching mouthy fielders a lesson they’ll never forget, she’s destined to make an indelible mark on Darkness Eternal—and the SCA as a whole.


The league may not know it yet, but they’ve just met their next superstar. And if anyone doubts her, well… they should probably invest in some protective gear.

Pick 10 - Darkness Eternal - #14 TheGoatBaron

Sweet Cricket Association Draft Profile: TheGoatBaron

With pick number 10 in the 2024 Sweet Cricket Association (SCA) Draft, Darkness Eternal secured TheGoatBaron, a stylish New Zealand batsman with a storied past and an even brighter future. Known for his impeccable technique and flair at the crease, TheGoatBaron is as much a master of reinvention as he is a maestro with the bat. The man formerly known as TheSheepBaron changed his alias to escape the shadow of unsavory (and unfair) rumors associated with his homeland and has since become one of the most fascinating personalities in world cricket.

### The Early Days: A Sheepish Start
Born Liam Whittaker in the rolling hills of Canterbury, New Zealand, TheGoatBaron’s early cricketing days were steeped in the country’s rural charm. His family owned a sprawling sheep farm, and Liam spent his childhood balancing farm chores with backyard cricket matches against his siblings.

"He’d use fence posts as stumps and smack tennis balls into the paddocks," says his father, Ewan Whittaker. "Half the time, we’d lose the ball because it landed in the sheep pens, but he didn’t care. He’d just keep playing until the sun went down."

Liam’s mother, Marge Whittaker, recalls his obsession with batting.

"He was always working on his technique," she says. "He’d watch old videos of Martin Crowe and Kane Williamson, then go outside and try to mimic them. It didn’t matter if it was raining—he’d be out there practicing."

### From Sheep Baron to Cricket Baron
As Liam rose through the New Zealand junior ranks, his natural ability with the bat became evident. However, his nickname TheSheepBaron, a playful nod to his family’s farm, began to cause him trouble. Opponents, particularly the Australians, seized on the stereotype, bombarding him with crude sheep-related sledges.

Former New Zealand U19 coach Ross “Razor” Bartlett recalls the pressure it placed on him.

"Every time he walked out to bat, someone would start baa-ing from the slips cordon," Razor says. "It was ridiculous, but he took it in stride—for the most part."

However, when rumors began to swirl about his "relationship" with sheep, the young batsman decided it was time for a change. At 20 years old, he adopted the name TheGoatBaron, symbolizing his ambition to be the Greatest of All Time and putting the sheep-related jibes firmly behind him.

"I wanted to control the narrative," TheGoatBaron explained in a recent interview. "I figured if they’re going to talk, they might as well be talking about me being the GOAT, not about farm animals."

### A Prodigy in the Making
TheGoatBaron’s performances on the domestic circuit quickly silenced the doubters. Playing for Canterbury in the Plunket Shield, he racked up centuries with ease, displaying a level of composure and shot selection that belied his age.

Former teammate Brendan “Bazza” Farley describes him as a natural leader at the crease.

"He has this incredible ability to read the game," Bazza says. "It’s like he knows what the bowler is going to do before they do it. And his cover drive? Poetry in motion."

TheGoatBaron’s breakout moment came in a Super Smash T20 match, where he smashed an unbeaten 112 off 58 balls, including a sequence of five consecutive sixes to finish the innings.

"That innings put him on the map," Razor Bartlett says. "It wasn’t just the runs—it was the way he scored them. He made it look effortless."

### Darkness Eternal’s Bold Pick
When TheGoatBaron slipped to pick 10, many analysts were shocked. Darkness Eternal, however, saw an opportunity to secure a player with world-class potential and a point to prove. Captain Boncer34 was delighted with the selection.

"TheGoatBaron is exactly the kind of player we need," Boncer34 said after the draft. "He’s got the talent, the work ethic, and a bit of personality to spice things up. Plus, I love the fact that he’s embraced the whole ‘GOAT’ thing—it shows confidence."

Boncer34 also addressed the name change, framing it as a testament to the player’s resilience.

"It takes guts to reinvent yourself like that, especially with the kind of nonsense he had to put up with. But that’s what makes him special—he doesn’t let anything get in his way."

### The Future Beckons
As TheGoatBaron prepares to step onto the SCA stage, those who know him best believe he’s ready to thrive.

"He’s one of the most mentally tough players I’ve ever worked with," says Razor Bartlett. "He’s dealt with more off-field distractions than most players will in a lifetime, and he’s come through stronger. That’s the kind of character you want in your team."

His father, Ewan, is equally confident.

"Liam’s always been a fighter," Ewan says. "Whether it was chasing stray sheep or chasing down totals, he’s never given up. Darkness Eternal’s got themselves a star."

TheGoatBaron himself remains humble but focused.

"It’s an honor to be picked by Darkness Eternal," he said in his first interview after the draft. "I’ve worked hard to get here, but this is just the beginning. I’m here to score runs and help the team win—simple as that."

### Final Thoughts
TheGoatBaron’s journey from rural New Zealand to the SCA is a testament to his talent, determination, and ability to rise above adversity. Whether he’s stroking elegant boundaries through the covers or proving that no amount of sledging can break his spirit, he’s destined to make a lasting impact on Darkness Eternal and the league.

And if anyone dares bring up sheep again? Well, they’d better be ready for a masterclass in how a true GOAT plays cricket.
