Phoebe Li▨tchfield and Georgia Voll. Two 21 year olds casually preparing to traumatise teams for the next 10-15 years with a 130-run opening stand in꧅ 19 overs.

Totally unsurprising 𝓀to see Georgia Voll take to international cricket like a duck to water.
Voll and Litchfield terrorizing opposition bowling lineups at the top of the order for years to come ? Yes…

Hey ,
Listening to your commentary of Australia v India women's cricket and enjoying it, but you made a small mistake
Ellyse Perry isn't one of the best of all-time… She is THE best of all-time!
The only debate is whether she is Australia's greatest ever athlete

Two defeats on the same Sunday for India, Australia defeated India in the 2nd Women's ODI by 122 runs. India is losing everywhere in everything. 😂
