Women's Ashes 2023: 3 disappointing performers of one-off Test
While there were many terrific performances, there were a few players who failed to make an impact.
2. Kate Cross
England pace spearhead Kate Cross failed to live up to the expectations as well. Cross led an inexperienced pace attack and the onus was on her to give England the good start with the ball. She started well by dismissing Phoebe Litchfield to give England the early breakthrough in the first innings.
However, Cross just could not make an impact in the game after that early dismissal. Her first innings figures read an unimpressive 1 for 102 in 29 overs. The 31-year old is not known for her batting exploits and did little to improve her reputation as she was dismissed for a duck.
In the second innings too, Cross had a forgettable outing. Although she gave England the much-needed first breakthrough by castling Phoebe Litchfield with a beauty, she could not gave her team the early breakthrough. Cross finished the innings with 2 wickets to her name.
