Grace Ballinger

She's the one that's going to have a day this time with the ball.

But would you be surprised to know that both Grace Ballinger and Charlie Phillips picked up wickets?

No.

Yeah, we'll touch score in that one.

Charlie Phillips having a fantastic season.

Grace Ballinger as well has been around a while.

Very good.

Three quality spinners as well.

as

a really dangerous fast bowler, the continuing development of Grace Ballinger, And they're kind of unstoppable.

They've got great spin options.

They've got Kirsty Gordon.

The Ashes is next summer.

In between that, you've got potentially a series against Sri Lanka, certainly a series against West Indies.

Is there going to be opportunity for a wider pool of people to gain experience and to put their hand up and say, count me in, based on their form, but also maybe their potential and how they've done over years rather than weeks? So I suppose the people in my mind, really, in the bowling department would be Charlie Phillips and Grace Ballinger.

And in batting, Davina Perrin.

I mean, the thing is that you look down the batting line at the Surrey, obviously Kira Chatterley getting runs 25, Alice Monaghan 18, ADR 19, the only people to hit double figures in that one.

And again, it is that, it's what we said about this blaze bowling attack all summer, really, isn't it? Like we know, I mean, Grace Ballinger and Charlie Phillips, again, top of the order.

Again, Ballinger got a little bit of tap in comparison to what she's been getting.

But Charlie Phillips, again, one for 11 off of her two overs.

So if I want to talk about Rogue, how does Grace Potts get in that squad? She has taken 12 wickets from her 11 games in the one-day cup at 38 runs apiece.

and whereas you look at Charlie Phillips who's taken 25 wickets at 15 runs apiece and Grace Ballinger 20 wickets at 21 runs apiece playing for the Blaze how do they not get in and how does Grace Potts get in ahead of them?

Yeah I was thinking about this I think with Charlie Phillips I think I mentioned her to you a few weeks ago and I was like oh why is she not like getting call up and I guess it is kind of a bit of a breakout season for her and so maybe there's the the want to wait a little bit, which I kind of understand.

But with Grace Ballinger, I feel like she's been on the scene for a long time and has been performing at a good level for a long time.

Obviously, left arm, so maybe that's a factor.

But, yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, in the previous one day squad, which was against New Zealand back in May, Izzy Wong pulled out of that and was replaced by Alexa Stonehouse.

So there's the left arm option, and that indicates that she's next in line.
