Welcome Lottie
The Stingrays welcome Charlotte Edwards to the team for the
2016/17 season.
Charlotte will play games for us in between her Scorpions
and Strikers commitments. It was great to see Charlotte at training last Friday
and she will be at the Come and Try Strikers Cup on Wednesday at Port Noarlunga
Oval.
(From Cricket
Australia website…..
Charlotte retired as England captain
at the end of the 2016 World T20.
During
her 20-year international career, including 10 years as England captain,
Edwards won numerous individual awards, with few bettered by her being only the
second-ever female recipient of the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2014. ..(she)
also won the 2015 ECB Women’s Cricketer of the Year, 2012 ICC Women’s World T20
Player of the Series and the 2008 ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year. She has
been nominated for the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year four times and is a
seven-time top scorer in the UK Women’s County Championship.
As
a leader, Edwards led England to the 2009 ICC Women’s World T20 and 2009 ICC
Women’s Cricket World Cup titles, as well as four Women’s Ashes triumphs,
including the 2005 victory which ended 20 years of Australian domination.
From SACA website
Edwards represented
England in 23 Tests, 191 ODIs and 95 T20Is and became the most capped
international female cricketer in the history of the game.
We have had the pleasure of hosting Sarah Taylor, Tammy
Beaumont, Anna Kerrison and Kathryn Brice over recent seasons.
Ella Wilson
Congrats to Ella who took 3/25
off 11 overs for the Under 14 Whites.
She opened the bowling at the start of the West Torrens innings last
week taking a wicket in her first spell.
This week she took two wickets in her opening spell to see the 14 Whites
win by three runs (defending 79!!!).
The As scrambled to 116 – having been 4/5. Charlotte Edwards topscored with 30, Jess O’Reilly
made good runs at Number 8 (26 no) and Kayla McGrath started the season well
with 23.
Four ducks…..
Charlotte opened her career at Southern with a six off a
waist high full toss from Stacey Oates.
We had the Blues 2/23 in the
fifth over, but they passed us 2 for in the 20th over.
The Bs.
The Bs won their first game for the season with a forfeit
from Port.
The second game saw us up against Kensington Brown.
Batting first they made 6/119 in their 20 overs.
Caitlyn Seccafien took a career best 3/18 off her four overs
and Ella Wilson backed up her three wicket Under 14 effort with 2/13.
Our batting suffered a similar fate to the As with the loss
of early wickets. At one stage we were 3/5. Sundus Rasa (7) and Serena Ongley
(11) put on 12 for the fourth wicket to take us past the A grade’s 4/5!!!
Serena feasted on the Kensi bowlers again (after a PB of 13
last year) for 11 off 23. She and first gamer Amelia Knight put on 21 in seven
overs for the best partnership of the innings.
Amelia batted 42 minutes and faced 23 balls in her
innings. She ran well between the
wickets and defended the stumps well to remain not out.
Erin Temme batted 19 balls and showed good defence when she
was given out LBW.
The return of left armer
Cummings (an NT rep) finished the innings. We were all out for 41.
Congrats to our first games
Hannah Watchman, Sundus Rasa and Amelia Knight and Erin in her first game as B
grade captain.
