What a difference a week or so makes. Going into the last week of the regular season with qualification uncertain, Perth won their final group game against the Melbourne Renegades to make the semi-finals against the Sydney Thunder.

Nat made runs, (she also made runs against the Renegades), took catches and effected a run out to help secure a place on Sunday morning’s final.

In South Africa last weekend Shawn backed up his unbeaten 54 in the first innings the previous week with figures of 13.1-7-26-4 in the second, but ended up being part of a block out for a draw after WPCC’s opposition, (league leaders), were able to bat longer than expected in their second innings to set a tricky 4th innings target.

In the Caribbean, the West Indies domestic 50-over competition has started…including Hampshire and Kent! The return of Test players to the squads has meant no place in the Barbados team for Anthony so far.
