CULTURES COMBINE: Compton Homies and Popz, an American cricket side, played a Johnny Mullagh XI at the Johnny Mullagh Oval at Harrow on Monday evening. The Johnny Mullagh XI won the match but it was about much more than the final result as cultures were explored. Compton, a team of Latinos and African Americans from varying backgrounds, is touring Australia for the first time. The Johnny Mullagh XI is a team of Aborigines which honours the original Aboriginal side which toured England in 1868. Compton’s Ted Hayes and Johnny Mullagh XI’s Wayne Bell enjoyed a laugh after Hayes dismissed Bell, a true reflection of the spirit in which the game was played.
