Player of the match
Alana King | Australia
All to play for, this game. We are stoked that we came away with a win and retained the Ashes. It all comes up to match-ups, we’ve got a pretty strong unit here. I was bowling as much as I could and was being as ready as I can.
When the opportunity came, I am glad that I could take it. You got to control the controllable, I can’t control if I am selected or not but I got to be the best team-mate around and make sure that they are up and about.
I can do all my work behind the scenes and work with our spin coach. (Bowling on this surface) We had a discussion at the innings break to try and find the groove, get into rhythm and let the ball do the talking.
The wind played a part as well. What we do best is assess conditions as quickly as possible and communicate that with all the bowlers in the group. I’m just stoked to be back in the side.
