“He was faster than anyone I ever kept to.”

Rod Marsh faced the fastest bowlers in the world from behind the stumps. Yet even he wondered whether Jeff “Thommo” Thomson was faster than the officially recorded 160 km/h.

Hear more stories from one of cricket’s most fearsome fast bowlers at The Chappell Foundation Annual Dinner.

Join Thommo, Greg Chappell and more than 400 guests for drinks on the SCG turf, a Merivale dinner and a memorable night supporting young Australians experiencing homelessness.

Tickets are selling fast. Only a few tables left.

Adam Spencer takes on Thommo at cricket’s night of nights.

Adam isn’t just the world’s funniest mathematician, he is a cricket tragic who delights in exploring the game’s statistical thickets.

We’re confident Adam knows numbers about Jeff Thomson’s career that even Jeff doesn’t know – yet.

Adam will interview the Great Man at The Chappell Foundation’s 9th Annual Dinner on Friday July 31, at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Prominent sports broadcaster (and, former rugby league forward) Jimmy Smith will conduct the Auctions.

There’s still some tickets and tables left and you can book on the Chappell Foundation website.

Every dollar raised on the night goes towards getting Australia’s homeless youngsters safely off the streets.

All while helping young Australians experiencing homelessness build brighter futures.

“There are no homeless people on this continent. Let’s get rid of homelessness together.”

After experiencing homelessness himself, James Allen has gone on to conquer some of the world’s most challenging peaks, including Mount Sidley in Antarctica.

His story is a reminder that potential exists everywhere. Sometimes people just need support, opportunity and someone willing to back them.

Join us at The Chappell Foundation Annual Dinner and help support young Australians experiencing homelessness.
