Obscene sleeves of Ash Gardner there. The problem with the beat of Australia is that there is always someone who shops, even the worst days.

Serious sleeves of Ash Gardner to raise her young daughter in the World Cup. The Australians were in difficulty, but she gave the questions something to defend. For someone who rarely smiles, I loved the celebration.

Gardner shows how easy it is to beat on this counter. What a shame about the rest of the strikers who hit Litchfield. Extremely disappointing # CWC25

Ash Gardner is ridiculous. The terrifying nature on the side of the women of Australians – they are a Swiss knife, they only need 1 in 7 to hit well and they have 300 on the board. # CWC25
