'BrownWolf' share snapshot of Big Bash life

The life of a professional cricketer is a unique experience, often living out of a suitcase while travelling to parts of the globe many others never will.

This past year has taken Australia and Renegades leg-spinner Georgia Wareham from the United Kingdom to the West Indies on national duties, then to all corners of Australia for the Rebel WBBL.

And when she hasn’t been taking wickets on the field, the 20-year-old has been on the other side of the lens, capturing memories.

A growing love of film and photography has seen Wareham steadily build her collection of gadgets – "I sound like a bit of a tech nerd," she laughs – while the chance to embrace a new challenge is a welcome break from the demands of professional cricket.

It’s a hobby her Melbourne Renegades teammates have readily embraced – and led to the launch of a shared Instagram between Wareham and pace bowler Maitlan Brown.

Dubbing their joint venture ‘BrownWolf’ – Wareham’s nickname is ‘Wolfie’ – it’s a fun way for the young Renegades to document the adventures that come with a whirlwind Big Bash season; a tournament that next takes the club to Brisbane for the Finals weekend.

The idea to document their Big Bash travels came after Wareham produced a highlights video from Australia’s tour of the Caribbean in September, combining her drone and GoPro footage.

"We figured out that it was something we wanted to do it when we’re on tour," Brown, herself an industrial design student, told cricket.com.au.

"When we’re travelling there’s a bit of downtime … and it encourages you to get out rather than just staying in the hotel room

"We had a few options (for the name).

"Then on a plane to Perth, that trip takes ages, so we decided to make a logo."

Wareham can see how photography is a useful outlet while handling the demands that come with full-time cricket, and now that she’s undertaken a photography course, arranged by the Australian Cricketer’s Association, she’s fully equipped to handle her shiny new camera.

"I’m behind the camera… Maitlan’s on captions," Wareham said.

"I did a day course, a bit of a tour around … that was really cool.

"I got taught how to use my camera properly.

"I sound like a bit of a tech nerd (but) I’ve got a drone, I’ve got a GoPro and now I’ve got the camera.

"It’s just fun. Even when Big Bash is finished, I think we’ll be sending each other photos."

The Renegades have made the Big Bash semi-finals for a second consecutive year, and hope to go one step better after losing to the Sixers in a heartbreaking super over last summer.

It’s reward for a group who have, by and large, been together since the competition’s early days, occupying the bottom runs of the ladder as coach Tim Coyle backed his young but extremely talented crop of players to develop.

"We’re all just enjoying each other’s company at the moment, we’re all really good friends," Wareham said.
