Sydney Thunder opener Georgia Voll joins The Surge Podcast following her 97no against the Perth Scorchers and tells the brilliant story about her friendship with Beth Mooney
The Surge Pod: How Georgia Voll one-upped her mentor
It was a poetic end at the MCG last Friday, where the Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder faced-off in a thriller.
It was a classic master v apprentice battle, as Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll both scored 97 runs each.
The 30-year-old Mooney made the most of her chances to lead the Scorchers to 170 runs.
Not to be outdone, 21-year-old Voll worked her way to 97no and got the Thunder home in convincing fashion.
Running out of time to score a century really didn’t bother Voll, with the victory the only focus in her mind.
"To be honest I was not thinking about that (the 100). I was more thinking about getting the job done," Voll told The Surge podcast.
"It was just nice to win that game I think, I don’t really care about the hundred."
But the thought of one-upping her mentor was sweet for Voll.
"It was really nice to get one up on her," she continued.
"I think she a bit angry at me after the game, but I think she was pretty happy for me as well which was nice."
The two first met in when a young Voll joined the Queensland set up and was immediately starstruck by Mooney.
"She took me under her wing when I first started up in Queensland when I was about 16,” Voll recounted.
"She offered to throw me balls and I actually said no because I was too scared of her.
"One day I finally said yes and it has gone from there.
"She’s been a massive part in my career so far ... I love doing some upper body with her at the gym and she always makes me do lower body so she can beat me,” Voll said.
