I guess just seeing how women's cricket has evolved globally, how do you see that?
19:29
yeah look it's certainly it's it's trending up and it's trending up really quickly and it's you know for us I feel like Australia have led the way in that we probably got in a bit earlier and the women's big bash is probably the longest standing domestic league and and now we see England doing it and in India have got a WPL as well which is huge over there so So, yeah, I think Australia were probably the first to really pull the trigger on it.
19:55
And you could see for a long time at international level, you could see that.
20:00
They were just a step.
20:01
The Aussies were just winning very comfortably a lot of the time.
20:04
And we're now, I think, on an international stage, but us going into that World Cup, like it was...
20:13
I don't think we were favourites, which hadn't been the case like that ever, I don't think.

If you are like a high performer and a perfectionist, which I imagine a lot of you guys are having to like get back up and go again, because it's so like, it is very clearly a team sport, but so much of it, particularly when you're batting as individual, like how do you navigate that? I guess mentally what it's like for you potentially, if you have a performance, that's not up to scratch, like getting back up and going again.
1:22
Just take us through, is it a little bit sweeter beating England in the final?
1:29
Yeah, I think so.
1:30
I think in their backyard at home and cricket, there was probably 27,000 people supporting England out of the 28,000 people that were there.
1:39
So, yeah, just amazing that we're able to produce a performance like that on the big stage in one of the biggest games we've had in a couple of years and get it right.
2:44
That must be pretty cool.
2:47
Yeah, I mean, there's a bit on between now and then, but...
2:51
Yeah, like T20 World Cups, one-day World Cups, they're pretty special, but to add an Olympics in there as well and to potentially compete for a medal would be pretty amazing for us to look back on in our careers.

I heard there's free matches in the village too,
