  1. Alex Hartley
    England spinner and World Cup winner

    I haven’t met anyone who plays as well off the back foot as Nat does.

  3. Shall we break up this green and gold-fest?

  4. Alex Hartley
    England spinner and World Cup winner

    She's just world class. There's not much more to say!

  5. I think Ellyse Perry is the gutsiest player in international cricket.

    Despite being injured, she still put everything in to help Australia over the line against New Zealand recently and reach the final.

    And that's not mentioning the time when she won the World Cup for Australia on one leg back in 2013.

  6. Kate Cross
    England women's seamer

    She’s all about consistency, bowling and batting. Her innings in the last two Test matches (213* & 116) are a testament to that - but she can produce those sorts of performances across every format of the game.

  7. 4. Ellyse Perry (88%)

  8. Now, I'm not saying that Australia are good at T20 cricket or anything, but in at four...

  9. Kate Cross
    England women's seamer

    Like Al says, she's annoyingly strong through backward point but has developed her game so much over the past few years. On her day, she is one of the most destructive batters in the women’s game.

  10. Yep, you've gone for an Aussie 1-2-3 - and, let's be honest, it's not hard to see why.

    Meg Lanning has won almost everything there is to win, and she was the backbone for Australia in their most recent T20 World Cup victory.

  11. Alex Hartley
    England spinner and World Cup winner

    Lanning's strongest area is from backward point to third man, she will look to cut everything. But sometimes this strength can be a weakness when she tries to cut balls that are too straight.

  13. Funny you should say that, Peter...

    Peter Clarke: Hadn’t realised how much of a closet Aussie women’s cricket fan I was until I picked this team!

  15. Kate Cross
    England women's seamer

    Mooney is smart - she's more of a touch player, which complements Healy at the top of the order. She has the ability to play 180 degrees.

  16. The T20 World Cup must still be fresh in people's minds.

    Beth Mooney was Australia's leading run-scorer in the tournament, averaging a casual 64.75 from her six innings.

    She's got two international T20 centuries to her name - one against England and one against Sri Lanka - and she's a good counterbalance for the aggressive Healy.

  18. And to partner Healy at the top of the order...

  19. Kate Cross
    England women's seamer

    Healy has this confidence at the top of the order to just go out and attack.

  20. 90,000 people crammed into the MCG for the World T20 final wanted to see a show.

    And Alyssa Healy gave them that.

    She finished the tournament with 236 runs from six innings, including 28 fours and nine sixes.
