KATE CROSS’S ENGLAND GUIDE

TAMMY BEAUMONT

THE glue that holds our batting together. Brilliant at the top of the order. Smallest player in the team!

DANNI WYATT

HAD a tough time being moved up and down the order, but the way she batted in the semi was special. First thing she did after her century was check her mum and dad had watched.

HEATHER KNIGHT

A FIGHTER, so hard-working and our most level-headed player. She gets the best out of us and wants us to play hard but enjoy it.

NAT SCIVER

FRIGHTENING to think she hasn’t peaked yet. Century against Australia in the opener was a masterclass. Catch to dismiss Lizelle Lee in semi was huge.

AMY JONES

BEST wicketkeeper in the world now Sarah Taylor is not around and she’s proved it here.

SOPHIA DUNKLEY

SHE’S taken to international cricket brilliantly. Showed maturity batting with her mate Danni in semi.

KATHERINE BRUNT

DIDN’T feel at her best so did some technical work before Pakistan game and has been brilliant since. One of the top all-rounders.

SOPHIE ECCLESTONE

TO BE No1 in the world at 22 is phenomenal. Repeatable action and height (5ft 11in) gets her bounce. Pleased to get a tweet from Everton after her six wickets in the semi-final!

KATE CROSS

ONLY 18 months ago I was in tears telling my family I didn’t think I was good enough for international cricket. Proud of myself now.

CHARLIE DEAN

LIKE a puppy nipping at your heels! Off-spinner has been a great find.

ANYA SHRUBSOLE

ROLLERCOASTER of a tournament. Turned it around in first game against South Africa. Can win a game from nowhere.
