Beth Mooney is a paradox. For somebody who can deal with the fireplace of essentially the most not possible of conditions, she is remarkably poor at dealing with precise warmth and humidity.
The Australian batting mainstay placed on a masterclass for the ages, serving to her aspect get well from 76 for seven to 221 for 9 by scoring a quintessential ‘boring’ century in opposition to Pakistan in a Women’s ODI World Cup match on the R. Premadasa Stadium right here on Wednesday.
“I was typically dying when I got back into the changing room after the innings break. I dunked my head into ice water. Changed all my clothes and sat in the air-con before it was time to go.”
“Honestly, I was thinking how much my feet hurt at one point. We scored pretty freely towards the very end, and I did wonder if we could have done that a little bit earlier. But, 220 ended up being more than enough.”
“My method in the nets when I had a hit with Dan Marsh was to really commit if I was going to come out and try and hit down the ground as hard as I could, or to sit deep and still hit it as hard. It seemed like the ball, when it was a little bit fuller, wasn’t coming on as nicely when the batters were playing out in front of them.”
“I knew we had a long time to bat, so we didn’t have to do anything too rash,” Mooney, who stood guard for 42 overs, mentioned.
