Your old club (I think?) had a nice milestone a few weeks ago. At all levels it sometimes feels like we develop bowling all-rounders in the girls/womens game, so this was something to celebrate locally with the bat.
A big milestone in the advancement of Western Bay of Plenty women's cricket was announced last Saturday, with Bay of Plenty Women's Captain Tash Wakelin posting a century in senior men's grade competition.
Wearing the colours of Otumoetai Cadets in the WBOPCA Division Four competition encounter with Bay Blasters, Wakelin took charge of her side’s target of 182 in the forty over per side game.
...
Her 100 runs came from 87 balls and included fourteen 4's.
The first women's century in Western Bay of Plenty men’s grade cricket cemented the development of women's cricket in the region. [Well... we still need a full Women's grade among the clubs, but it is a bloody good step all the same]
Posted because: at the risk of rushing yet another 17 year old into the White Ferns, she might be needed at this rate...

Cadets was Baron's club
I don't think mine even exists any more

Heh, my reverse jinx ability to comment people into form remains strong. Bezuidenhout now with a maiden ODI half century in match number 17.
And Bates then ran her out with a century in sight.
Let's see if they can be consistent with their batting.

A 2 - 1 ODI series win in the end. The moment of last night's Super Over loss coinciding with the exact moment that "Sumo" decided to tell us Sophie Devine had never played in a losing one.
Emily Drumm was brilliant as a player. Some of her opinions & decisions as a selector, and published views on Tests, arguably don't meet the same high bar.
