Win Projections to be updated soon
Since the Women’s Ashes is still going on, England Women have had a series to forget. Three ODIs and three T20Is are the six white-ball matches that have swung in favor of the home team. The series’ last match is the renowned pink-ball Test, which will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
An update on the recovery of 33-year-old Kate Cross from the back injury that kept her out of the games during this tour was given by English vice captain Nat Sciver-Brunt.
She is progressing well. She went through two spells today, I believe, and it was good to watch her hammer out a few overs in the nets. You will need to ask the physiotherapist to review with her and determine whether she made it through the net session. I am not sure [whether she is accessible]. It’s wonderful to see her return to her true personality, though. It’s been really tough to see her in so much agony over the past month, and she must have been feeling that too,” Sciver-Brunt said, as reported by Morning Star.
The past several days have been difficult: Nat Sciver-Brunt
To end the series on a strong note, the all-rounder seems keen. In addition, she exhorted her group to unite and act as a cohesive unit in order to redeem themselves, for whatever reason.
“Aside from the runs, I think it would be nice for my own pride if I did well. You simply keep making yourself known. It’s natural to withdraw a little when you’re trailing six games in a series, but I’m prepared to show myself once more and make an effort to defend the team. With any luck, we did well. We appreciate that after six games, we have the chance to do that. Although the past few days have been difficult, we will try our best,” Sciver-Brunt continued.
With their efforts, England will have a wonderful chance to rescue some pride in the first-ever floodlit Test match in Melbourne. Only 156 runs at an average of 26.33 have been scored by Sciver-Brunt in the six games she has participated.
