STAR cricketer Will Hardie came to Portland from the United Kingdom to make runs and take wickets, and while he’s done plenty of that (when the cricket has actually been on), his trip Down Under has been about a whole lot more.

The 24-year-old Scottish batsman has been spending most of his days out working on the Keiller sheep farm in Cashmore and said the promise of an all-around life experience that was given to him by Portland Tigers has well and truly been lived up to.
