Ecclestone Ressurection
Ecclestone showed everyone once again why she is such a hot topic in the cricketing world. Australia was looking completely in charge when she came and toppled them completely with no batswoman having the answer to her devious turn.
After getting the wicket of Tahlia McGrath, she got Jess Jonassen very cheaply and bowled Australia’s captain Allesa Healy on her second delivery. Lauren Filer also performed amazingly on her debut and took two wickets, one of which was of Ellyse Perry.
