The Hundred: 'Phenomenal' Laura Wolvaardt guides Superchargers to record win over Originals
That was how BBC commentator Kevin Howells and summariser Lauren Winfield-Hill described Laura's Wolvaardt's masterful, unbeaten 90 off 49 balls as Northern Superchargers chased a Women's Hundred record 161
Deandra Dottin, who had earlier smashed a sensational 68 off 30 balls, including five sixes, started with a no-ball, before fumbling and passing up a clear run-out opportunity. "I feel like the games before this I tried to whack it just way too hard," Wolvaardt told Sky Sports. Wolvaardt has been a name on many lips this summer after some eye-catching innings for South Africa against England, but there was debate about whether she was wasted in the middle order in the T20 series as England dominated.

Active acoustic telemetry reveals ontogenetic habitat-related variations in the coastal movement ecology of the white shark - Animal BiotelemetryBackground Little is known about the fine-scale behavioural choices white sharks make. The assessment of movement at high spatio-temporal resolution can improve our understanding of behavioural patterns. Active acoustic telemetry was used along a coastal seascape of South Africa to investigate the movement-patterns of 19 white sharks tracked for 877 h within habitats known to host different prey types. Results A three-state hidden Markov model showed higher ontogenetic variability in the movements of white sharks around estuary-related coastal reef systems compared to around a pinniped colony. Our results further suggest white sharks (1) use the same searching strategy in areas where either pinnipeds or fishes are present; (2) occupy sub-tidal reef habitats possibly for either conserving energy or recovering energy spent hunting, and (3) travel directly between the other two states. Conclusions White sharks appear not to simply roam coastal habitats, but rather adopt specific temporally optimized behaviours associated with distinct habitat features. The related behaviours are likely the result of a balance among ontogenetic experience, trophic niche, and energetics, aimed at maximizing the use of temporally and spatially heterogeneous environments and resources. The possible implications for the future conservation of white sharks in coastal areas are discussed, with particular attention to South Africa’s present conservation and management challenges.
