Phoebe Graham reflects on a fantastic summer of cricket in the mens and womens Hundred series, as well as picking apart the tournaments best moments; The 31-year-old offers parting thoughts on how effective the competition has been in entertaining a whole new generation of fans.
Brave were known for their top order dominating, so when Superchargers had them 8-2 after nine balls, we wondered if this was enough to make them crack. Wyatt then stepped up with solid contributions from Freya Kemp and Adams to post 139.Shrubsole led the attack with her partner in crime, Lauren Bell, containing the Superchargers on a day that mattered.
The Curran brothers fired in the moments that mattered, and when their team looked dead and buried in the final 34-5, Jimmy Neesham and Tom Curran put on a match-winning 127 partnership. Some memories will last a lifetime. Tammy Beaumont scored the first women's hundred, and Harry Brook scored the fastest men's. Fielding like no one has ever seen before, Sam Hain at Lords and Brook at Headingly.
The Hundred is fun and exciting, people are still engaging, and it continues to be a platform for rising stars. It bridges the game between domestic and international cricket and helps determine who performs on the big stage.
