OPINION: Lisa Alexander became a victim of her own success with the Diamonds
Alexander might consider herself a victim of both the inflated expectations created during the vastly successful first half of her tenure and also of the unusually large profile she gained.
The cricketing world has marvelled at the dominance of the Australian women's team, but is the degree of their success damaging the women's game? Alexander's legacy should provide lasting consolation. This does not merely relate to the competition medals and an impressive 83-19 winning record, but the manner in which she helped professionalise the sport and raised the bar for her own team and its competitors.
