Anna, what does it feel like when you walk out onto a cricket pitch and you're the person everyone is watching for a decision? Do you ever get stage fright?

Not stage fright in a sense, but I think we all have nerves, like Rinder's described, the butterflies in the stomach and absolutely the anxiety the excitement the anticipation we go through the same emotions that players go through and that players want to score centuries and take five wickets and we want to go out there and facilitate the best game of cricket that we can so it really depends i mean a lot of our cricket probably the bulk of our cricket is done without the review technology so in terms of that there's different approaches in terms of it might be a four-day game and if i've made a decision that a player doesn't agree with on day one it can feel like a long four days And then we're fortunate that we do get exposed to the decision review process at the international and in my case at the domestic level, which brings its own pressures.

Certainly it tends to have a large television audience globally as well as domestically.

But it's really cool.

And like Brenda said, once you call play or your colleague calls play or you step over the boundary, it's just trying to slot back into all the processes that have got us to the point of where we are and remembering that it's just a game of cricket.

Anna, how do you get experience and get to the level where you are officiating international matches?

It's changed recently actually and I think definitely for the better.

So when I started, I never thought about progressing.

Is there a burden that comes with people saying that to you or do you find it all just kind of fairly natural and automatic that your joy of being involved in the game, it just spills over into all the other stuff that you do promoting it?

Yeah, I think so.

It is, I think, a natural thing.

And I think especially within women's cricket, historically hasn't been as well supported.

And a lot of it was down to the goodwill and hard work of volunteers and people who are really passionate about women's sports.

So in terms of that, yeah, it's just a natural inclination, really.

And in terms of, you know, people come up and say, say a role model and things like that I don't necessarily think of myself in that way it's not something that you know I've spoken to Sue being a role model for me and we both kind of said that we don't really actively go out there we just and think that we're role models we just go and try and perform our best and that's our way of just showing what we can do really I think there's been a lot more emphasis on other paths through the sport and not necessarily having to pick up a bat and ball and be brilliant at it I'm just finding something about it that you know, gets you going and brings you back.

And is there a nice inspirational kind of message or kind of story that you kind of tell to encourage others to be involved? Is there something that you'd now perhaps like to say that would kind of ring true for young girls or for women or for anybody generally, perhaps, who's interested in getting involved in the game?
