Betty Wilson 🇦🇺 & Myrtle Maclagan 🏴 dominate the last Womens test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1949. 76 years on who will shine in the D/N Ashes test this summer? Childhood dream coming true.
Not many would’ve picked them before the start of the Women's Premier League (WPL) or even half way through. But they came home with a bang taking top honours for leading runs scorer, wicket taker, player of the final & emerging playing of the year. What a turn around. Congrats Royal Challengers Bengaluru! 🏆
Meg has confirmed she’s waited for years to stitch me up on air. It’s a double whammy now thanks Best Bits of The Back Page !
This is a brilliant thread on the 1997 Women’s World Cup in India and the lengths countries went to with minimal support & resources. Starc difference to today working on the Women's Premier League (WPL) and knowing there is more to come. Thanks to those in ‘97 and before for the foundations. 👏🏽
In what was one of Australia’s most successful years of cricket it was an absolute thrill to co-host the Australian Cricket Awards with Jason Richardson and the The Grade Cricketer.
