That’s the good thing about being an all-rounder, if you don’t play well with the ball, you can make up for it with the bat. I had scored only 50 runs (58) in the whole World Cup, so it felt good to hit the ball cleanly.

Credit goes to our salami batter. It was because of him that things became easy. He played really well. It was my first game under Meg (Lanning), hopefully I can take a few things from her going forward.
