‘Wello’s’ TikTok channel: ’The Secret Life of Wello’ provides a personal narrative of Amanda-Jade Wellington’s epic ICC World Cup winning journey (2022) and hotel room isolation, quarantined around NZ for protection against ‘Covid.’
*She expresses elation whenever selected for the Australian’s winning team, and understandable disappointment when missing out on playing in the final match against England.
*Amusingly, ‘Wello’ is seen persuading blindfolded team-mates including Tahlia McGrath within her bio-bubble to ‘taste the NZ snack’ that they can’t buy back home.
*Other episodes show how she and her team-mates spent their rest days: trying vineyard archery, kayaking through artificial rapids and riding down a mountain-side zip-line.
*Apart from hard-won cricket medals, ‘Wello’ is seen collecting Japanese animation memorabilia that create an escape from her life as a full-time professional cricketer and thus enhance her mental health.

*As a skilful leg-spinner, Wello returned to front-line Australian duty after a three-year hiatus (through the Covid pandemic) and now plays for ‘Australia,’ ’South Australian Scorpions’ & ‘Adelaide Strikers’.
*Apart from her World Cup medal, last August whilst playing in England, she bagged ‘The Hundred’ Hero of the Match cap and medal for her ‘4-fer’ (4/14) for ‘Southern Brave’ (on 1/8/21): that guaranteed ‘Brave’ a place in the final.
*She also bagged a runners-up medal for ‘Southern Brave,’ playing in the inaugural ’The Hundred’ final (21/8/21). *‘Wello’ returns to ‘Brave,’ playing ‘The Hundred’ during August-September 2022.
