"It was a hard-ball get!"
The AFL and Cricket Australia are reportedly considering organising special matches to aid the victims of the bushfire crisis.
A State of Origin match between teams consisting of AFL players could be held next month, according to the Herald Sun.
Marvel Stadium has been touted as the venue for the match with February 28 touted as the likely date.
“There are a number of ideas and initiatives we are working through with clubs and players across both AFL and AFLW that can support fundraising efforts in the short-term as well as support the ongoing rebuilding of local communities in the longer term,” a league spokesman said.
The last State of Origin match would be the first since 1999, when Victoria defeating South Australia by 54 points at the MCG.
A number of AFL clubs and players have launched their initiatives to raise funds with hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations already pledged.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Cricket Australia will confirm a match as a curtain-raiser to the Big Bash League final in February.
Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting have been mentioned as possible participants while Australia cricket coach Justin Langer said he would play if asked in a game that would involved past and current players.
Warne is already among a host of local and global sporting stars to join the bushfire fundraising drive, putting his prized baggy green up for auction.
The latest bid for the treasured piece of memorabilia stands at $375,000 before Friday’s deadline.
