Yes, sensational late spell with the ball to turn the game around. India didn't know what hit them.

In all forms of cricket, only some of Gloucestershire's trophy winning heroics with the ball better that performance in my opinion.

I thought they'd blown it nearly all the way, and then they got them suddenly 5 down and I thought they were back in it, then India scored 15 or so and I thought it was theirs again, then another couple of wickets at it was ours, then another 10 or so and I thought it was India's again...a great finish worthy of a final.

Given they seem to be handed out like toffee these days, should be a few MBE's for them in the NY honours list, I'd have thought. Anya Shrubsole, you heroine. Or is that sexist? Is she just a hero these days?

Do they still have a third man fielding position...?

And 12th Man. Natalie Sciver was named 12th Man in the team of the tournament (despite achieving more runs and more wickets than at least one of the other all-rounders in the team).
