The leg-spinner’s ability to baffle opponents is what makes her so dangerous, says teammate Ashleigh Gardner
26-year-old leg-spinner has 6-17 off five overs during tri-seriesPhotograph: Charles McQuillan/Getty ImagesPhotograph: Charles McQuillan/Getty ImagesShe has spent the past two days tearing apart batting orders and Alana King’s ability to baffle opponents is what makes her so dangerous on the international stage, says Australian teammate Ashleigh Gardner.
“It’s more that slider, or the one that slides through, is probably her biggest weapon, and then the one that she actually does try to rip is also really effective. Now she has a spot in Meg Lanning’s Australia squad for both the tri-series and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. “Both of them have plenty of confidence, and I know for Darce being quite a raw, young quick, sometimes it’s going to be her day and sometimes it’s not,” Gardner said. “As a person she’s okay with that, and she knows that when she’s on she’s going to take plenty of wickets.”
