Chloe Tryon: 'Golf', avocados and going full tilt towards the World Cup
Chloe Tryon of South Africa is currently preparing for The Hundred and the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix When the spotlight is on her, Durban-born Proteas Women all-rounder Chloe Tryon generally rises to the occasion with her big-hitting displays and a cheeky spell or two. But off the field, she's quite a simple, no-frills person who enjoys playing golf on her Xbox and eating smashed avocado on toast. She's also something of a workaholic, taking 'just a week off' to unwind and reset following the recent West Indies tour. Independent Sports caught up with Tryon, in an exclusive interview, just after a training session at the Wanderers in Gauteng, where several fellow cricketers are also preparing for The Hundred in the UK — the short-format tournament in which Tryon plays for Southern Brave.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Tryon sees the tournament as a valuable opportunity to sharpen her skills ahead of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India this September. 'I just took, like, a week off once I got back. I saw some of my family and just kind of reset before getting ready for The Hundred — and making sure I'm ready for the World Cup later this year,' she said. 'I think it's going to be a big tour for us, and we want to win that trophy. I'm trying to stay focused on doing the right things right now.' After spending over two years living in Durban, Tryon decided to relocate to Johannesburg due to work commitments. 'Moving to Joburg really just felt like the right thing to do. I spent so much time on the road and in airports. Now, at least after training or after games, I can go home and feel like I'm home,' she said. When the green and gold comes off, Tryon enjoys 'just being normal'. Since leaving Durban, she's stopped cooking curries and instead relies on a trusty air fryer she's affectionately named Phillip. 'I use my air fryer quite a bit nowadays. I think once I left Durban, I left the curries behind, too,' she said. 'I enjoy steamed or grilled food. I think I'm quite simple, and I can eat the same thing every day. Some people call me a creature of habit — so yeah, I tend to stick to what I know.' Tryon describes herself as a morning person who enjoys making the most of the early sun before switching off for the rest of the day. Chloe Tryon best effort with the willow in T20I is a 57 not out.

I like to get up and get stuff done, and then after 2pm just use the rest of my day to do things around the house and just be a normal person,' she said. 'I like playing golf on my Xbox.' She admits that breakfast is often skipped, mostly due to early training sessions. 'I don't really eat breakfast — I struggle with that because I train in the mornings. I'm either running or in the gym, and I don't want to eat and then go into an intense session. By the time I'm done, I'll probably just have some avocado on toast with eggs on the side. It's either that or Futurelife.' Chloe Tryon best bowling figures inthe shortest format of the game is 4/15.

'I feel like I'm hitting my struts at the moment, so I think I'll try to push as far as I can. If that means playing for another five or six years, then I'll take that. If it's shorter, then I'll take that too. I still want to enjoy every moment and play for my country.' Looking beyond her playing days, Tryon says coaching — not commentary — is in her future. 'I've given it some thought, and I'd like to get into coaching so I can stay close to the game. Growing up, women's cricket wasn't as professional as it is now, so I want to be part of that development. 'I had the pleasure of working with people who had faith in me and wanted me to succeed, so I definitely want to give back as much as I can. I don't want to sit and talk about the game — I want to be hands-on. I want to come up with plans and strategies and help younger players get to know their game.'

It's still a bit of a blur, to be honest. I think the team carried me throughout that day. I was a little bit sick, so that didn't really help much.

Memorial Day observed: North Country honors those who gave all
NORTH COUNTRY — The most solemn of America's national holidays was observed in towns, hamlets and cities throughout the North Country. TWO SERVICES HELD NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN ELIZABETHTOWN — American Legion Post 113 conducted two Memorial Day services, Monday. The first was at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery in Wadhams. At the end of first service, the participants moved to the Village Park in Elizabethtown. Newman Tryon American Legion Adjutant emceed the ceremonies and read a list of those who gave their lives for our country from the towns of Lewis and Elizabethtown. Tryon recounted the history of the Essex County Veterans Cemetery in Wadhams which has interred 103 Veterans in its 19 years. He also thanked Danny and Angie Wallace who spearheaded the Hometown Heroes banners program every year. Rev. David Sullivan of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, himself a Veteran, officiated at both the opening and closing prayers. Ash White lifted her voice in singing the Star-Spangled Banner. Representing the Legion Auxiliary Lena Robetoy placed a wreath at the WWII monument. Amid crosses signifying America's wars and conflicts the program concluded with the playing of 'Taps.' Heroes remembered in Keene Valley KEENE — At the foot of the Adirondack's Great Range in Keene Veterans Monument Park American Legion Post 1312 Commander Tom Both told of the purpose of Memorial Day. Rev. Susie Allen led those gathered for a moment of prayer. Peter Slocum gave a short history of Veterans of early Keene. Amy & Peter Nelson lifted their voices in singing 'America the Beautiful.' Rev. Allen said, 'They left our peaceful Valley to protect freedom and justice. Each hoped that their conflict to be the last for peace of all mankind.' Slocum traced Keene's heroes going back to the Revolutionary War. In particular there was Eli Hull who at age 12 tried to enlist, but General Washington would not allow it. However Hull and three sons enlisted for the War of 1812 in Plattsburgh. A traditional Legion ceremony was provided by Post 1312 Chaplain Robert Lewis and Commander Emeritus Larry House. This was followed by the Borealis singers performing, a simple but powerful message, 'Dona Nobis Pacem,' (Grant us Peace); the refrain of which is repeated as the only lyrics. A salute by the Post 1312 Rifle Squad echoed through the hillside as did. 'Taps' performed by Lynn Dewalt. Perhaps the most poignant moment of the ceremony was the song, 'Travelin Soldier,' sung by Lauren Whitney accompanied by Amy Nelson on guitar. It tells the story of an 18 year-old soldier heading to Vietnam. He meets a waitress with whom he corresponds. At a football game at the girl's high school after the National Anthem and Lord's Prayer, the local soldiers who died in the war are announced. The soldier's name is on the list, but only the girl recognizes his name. She mourns for him as stated in the line 'One name read and nobody really cared but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair,' a scenario that has unfortunately been repeated countless times. SOLDIERS HONORED, EULOGIZED IN WESTPORT WESTPORT — The morning fog emanating from nearby Lake Champlain added another dimension to remembrances of the past and those who gave their lives for this country. The program started with Felix Haskins performing 'America the Beautiful' on the cello. This was followed by Westport Town Supervisor Michael Tyler welcoming more than 125 in attendance and leading them in the 'Pledge of Allegiance.' Ashley Rodriguez sang 'The Star Spangled Banner' which was followed by Pastor Barbara Jackson of the Westport federated Church giving the invocation. Jackson said in part, 'We give thanks to those who saw the need and stepped up. They gave the most precious gift they had. Help us be worthy of their sacrifices.' The keynote speaker was Lt. Col. (retired) Andrew Beal who served three deployments in Iraq and two in Afghanistan, while receiving three Bronze Stars. Beal eulogized the heroics of WWI Army Veteran William W. Morrison, Sr. and WWII Army Veteran Frank Dougal. Morrison was with the 76th Infantry known as the Liberty Bell Division. He survived trench warfare while living in foxholes on the front lines. 'He never asked for glory,' said Beal. Dougal was with the combat engineers Keystone Division in Normandy and the Ardennes Forest. His unit had to crawl through mines and booby traps with machine gun fire strafing overhead. Then it was off to liberate Paris and on to Germany where they encountered what was called 'the Hurricane Force.' There were many casualties as they slogged through knee deep mud. On Dec. 17, 1944, Dougal and many of his comrades were captured during the Battle of the Bulge. He then endured the horrors of a POW camp before being liberated. Veterans George Maffey and Dick Fritz laid wreaths, followed by Taylor Haskins playing 'Taps' and final remarks by Tyler and a benediction by Pastor Jackson.
