Australia v England: Women’s Ashes second cricket T20 international – live
Share:
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon. When the Women’s Ashes schedule was announced there was understandable criticism that it was far too short, with the whole thing squashed into a 24-day period. Now it feels too long. Australia retained the Ashes on the 10th day, which means the last fortnight of the series – containing two T20s and the Test in Melbourne – is one big anti-climax.
Still, this is the Ashes, and there’s always something to play for. Marsellus Wallace can say what he likes about pride but he clearly wasn’t a cricket fan. A number of the England players, and the coach Jon Lewis, are fighting for their future prospects. Australia’s future looks almost as bright as their coruscating recent past. The present looks pretty good too. The Class of 25 have the chance to achieve something extraordinary: the first whitewash in Women’s Ashes history.
