New Zealand were set a record target and fell considerably short as England secured a 4-1 series victory
And that’s it from me! A 4-1 series win for England, and another step forward for the women’s game after a dismal Covid summer in 2020. New Zealand can go home with heads held high – it isn’t a result that flatters them. Lots to dwell on and lots to improve, but finally: would a famous male comedian have said this when I was a little girl? Not a chance! Thanks Chris, and most importantly, thanks England and New Zealand.
Well. That is my summer made. I’ve been sent a shirt signed by the mighty, mighty England Women. A century from Tammy B, eight bushels of runs, Kate Cross rampant in the field and this. I could not be more made up. Thank-you, @englandcricket! pic.twitter.com/oFmFbVtTJo
“Today was a sign of how good we can be. We’ve had a quiet series batting first but today was a sign of how good we can be , the talent we’ve got, we just want to do it more consistently.”
