It sort of felt a little bit seam-friendly today, a little bit off the wicket as well as in the air.
So yeah, I thought it was a really great all-round job for the whole group.
And, nice to contribute a little bit personally as well.
(On continuing to develop her bowling and getting opportunities in T20 internationals) It’s certainly not about sending any signal.
I’ve been doing that for the last little bit, so to have an opportunity today was really enjoyable.
Ellyse Perry | Player of the Match: (On Australia’s bowling performance and her figures of 2 for 14) I thought we started really well with the ball. Obviously, we came up front to take those early wickets. It sort of felt a little bit seam-friendly today, a little bit off the wicket as well as in the air. So yeah, I thought it was a really great all-round job for the whole group. And, nice to contribute a little bit personally as well. (On continuing to develop her bowling and getting opportunities in T20 internationals) It’s certainly not about sending any signal. I just like any opportunity to contribute. I really enjoy doing that with this group. They are wonderful cricket players, and we have a lot of fun on the field. I’ve been chipping away with my bowling. I love doing it. It keeps me interested at training to have a trundle. And yeah, there are bits and pieces that you’ve always got to learn and keep trying to develop. I’ve been doing that for the last little bit, so to have an opportunity today was really enjoyable. (On finishing the chase alongside Georgia Voll) I thought Georgia was in a particularly bullish mood today, the way she hit some of those shots, especially when she got in. So we probably didn’t communicate too much about anything in particular other than just letting her play freely and me being at the other end. It was sort of different conditions today, certainly from where we came from in Old Trafford a couple of days ago. So it was about adjusting to that. We come back here and playing in a few days’ time too, so I think it’s about learning about the conditions and trying to be clinical in the way that we finish games. (Joking after being reminded of her longevity in the game) Thanks for calling me old.
