Scoop Podcast: Best women's Test match ever?
Many have called what unfolded at Manuka Oval the best Women's Test ever, and it's a statement that is difficult to argue with after the Ashes contest between Australia and England came down to the final over with all four results possible.
Joining Laura Jolly and Emily Collin on this week's episode of the Scoop Podcast is former spinner Kristen Beams and current spinner Jess Jonassen, who share their experiences and unique insights into one of the most memorable Ashes encounters ever.
Beams, who was observing the action at the ground in the commentary box for ABC Radio, shares her thoughts on the timing of Meg Lanning's declaration, as well as how Australia wrestled the momentum back their way with some savvy bowling changes.
Jonassen offers an unrivalled insight into the chat that was flying around during the chaotic final over, as well as revealing the moment she thought Australia had a sniff of winning this Test match.
