Whatever it takes!!!
Good luck England.

Well played SA and WI. I really wish they get a more packed calendar for women's cricket from next year with WPSL, WIPL and WCPL all on the horizon alongside WBBL and W100.

Hoping for a close game to provide an exciting end to the tournament today, but even that's not an easy task against this Australian line-up.

If they have kids (who may or may not play the game) she and Starc will pass down some quality cricket genes - keeping, batting, and left-arm pace.
For sure - would certainly have some talented parents. I remember reading this interview:

Mitch: Cricket doesn’t last forever, and we’re both past 30 now, both been playing for over 10 years. We’re not the first people in a relationship to both play professional sport, but jeez it’s hard with cricket schedules that never align.

Planning a family has never been a pushed subject for either of us, because I know that if we do want a child, that’s a period of time Alyssa is out of the game, at a time when she’s dominating.

Alyssa: No one puts pressure on anyone in this household. Except my mum, who says, “Don’t keep me waiting too long!” Whether I want kids is probably a question people ask me more than I ask myself. Even though Cricket Australia has a fantastic pregnancy policy [including players eligible for 12 months’ paid leave, costs covered for support people and guaranteed contract extensions], if I go away and have a baby, come back and begin playing again, I would want to take the baby on tour. So when would Mitch get to see the baby? The sad reality is that one of us has to retire to start a family, and the obvious choice is me, because of Mitch’s earning power.
