Quotes

• It's been a while since I've bowled and it's nice to contribute to the team as much as I can – it just went my way today, probably beginner's luck in a way
• We've been playing some pretty good cricket and I cannot fault anyone in the group, the energy and the positivity has been there the whole time.
• We've enjoyed one another's company (and) the girls' effort at training and around preparation for matches tactically, has been spot on.
• It's just a little bit of a confidence thing but in this format you've got to take it on and we're learning that as we go and hopefully it's a bit of a kick starter for us today.
