The Oz girls are such a deeply talented group. There’s always someone stepping up putting in match winning performances. Now 2-0 up in the series.

Ash Gardner the star in the first game, Alana King in the 2nd (as well as Ellyse Perry).

The girls gave the Poms a right ol’ spanking today in the 3rd ODI.

Ash Gardner… what a beauty she is… hammered a ton and took an absolute blinder on the boundary. What a day she had =D> 8)

Tahlia McGrath back in form with a belligerent fifty. She hits the ball so well when on song.

Beth Mooney was her usual reliable self. Her and Ash stabilised the innings and then set up an onslaught.

Georgia Wareham… wow. Just came out and flogged the bowlers. Smacked an unbeaten 38 off 12 balls - hitting 5 fours and 2 sixes.
Capped off a great day with 2 for 27 with the ball =D>

Alana King was Queen of the bowlers taking a five-fer - the first in her international career 8)

So Australia just needs to win one more game and the Ashes are ours. 3 T20 matches and a Test to go…

Ashes retained! The gals pulverised the English in the first T20 meaning they have won the series. Outstanding again!

So many talented cricketers.

Well played all =D> =D> =D>

Annabel Sutherland… what a bloody star!! Incredible knock. 3 test centuries - equal most in Australian Women’s test history, and now averages more than 80 in her 6 test matches.

Just brilliant =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Congrats to the awesome ladies on a complete whitewash of the Ashes 8) =D>

Such a magnificent team.

Annabel Sutherland, Beth Mooney and Alana King on the honour boards at the MCG. Fantastic stuff =D> =D> =D>

Alana King spun some wicked deliveries today. Warney would have been thrilled. Just got to develop a decent wrong-un Kingy. The tailenders will be clueless.

They were simply Brilliant and whilst England supposedly could have done Far better,the Aussies simply didn't give them a look in.

Test Crowds Fair(Well Done to those who attended),but the players here deserved Far better Crowd numbers.
