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.
1. Heather Knight
Heather Knight has had a forgettable outing as a captain. The England captain's decisions were criticised as her team failed to capitalise after putting Australia under pressure on a number of occasions during the game. When England's bowlers were struggling towards the end of the third day, Knight could not motivate them to turn things around.
On the fourth day too, her decision of not giving the ball to Lauren Filer early in the day raised a number of eyebrows. Filer had troubled Australia with her pace and went on to dismiss Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath in her first two overs after being finally introduced in the attack.
With the bat, Knight did well to score 57 runs and sharing a 115-run stand with Tammy Beaumont in the first innings. But in the second innings when England were chasing 267, she failed to do well and was out for just nine runs.
