After beating New Zealand, Darcie Brown is excited about what she calls an “awesome challenge” against the West Indies.
Then Meg Lanning will have to choose between her and a spinner when she plays at Basin Reserve.
Darcie Brown, a 15-year-old fast bowler for Australia, is raring to go for the next World Cup match against West Indies on Tuesday. She took 3 for 22 against New Zealand and led Australia to a third win in a row.
In a match-changing spell, Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, and Frances Mackay were all bowled out by Brown on Sunday. Because Beth Mooney jumped so high that she caught Kerr in the slips, it was her favorite catch. “Moons caught a lot of fish. During the scream, the girls were moving around, “Brown talked about the moment.”
New Zealand was 35 for 5 when Brown took their last wicket. Australia went on to win by 141 runs, their second-biggest ODI win margin over New Zealand.
In light of how bad Brown’s performance against England was, this was a good performance. Brown was benched for Australia’s win over Pakistan because she didn’t score any runs in six overs against England.
“During the Pakistan match, I bowled with Ben Sawyer, our bowling coach,” she said. A few tips and cues: “He gave me a few tips and cues about how I should bowl so that I could try to go fuller or swing the ball a little more.”
And her teammates gave her a lot of praise. As Ash Gardner said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Darce bowl that well.” Brown did “amazingly well,” Ellyse Perry said.
Even Brown was shocked. “That made me feel good about myself. In general, I don’t feel like that, though, “she said. The way I felt about control, rhythm, and pace is probably on par with how I felt about those things as well.
In the next game, we have the West Indies, who have already beaten New Zealand and England but lost to India. They come to Basin Reserve after a big loss to India.
“It would be a great challenge. [Deandra Dottin] hit me a little bit when we played them in a practise match, but it was not very hard,” she said. “
However, Brown’s selection isn’t guaranteed because she’s only 19 and Meg Lanning has a lot of money and power. The world’s best one-day international bowler, Jess Jonassen, was left out of the match against New Zealand after the captain made the hard decision to leave him out. He chose to play faster bowlers instead.
Lanning: “We had to make a very difficult choice. JJ didn’t make it, and she’s a world-class bowler and has been very good for us for a long time. ” “We thought that going at a faster pace was the best way to go. Tomorrow, the same thing might not work.“
Brown said that no matter how the call went, she would understand. She said, “I want to play every game.” “But there have been a lot of young fast bowlers getting hurt. Whenever your boss says, I need to take a break,” you have to trust them and know that it’s in your best interest. “
