Australia’s Alana King delivered a spell of the highest quality in between showers that wrecked the ODI against West Indies. In the rain, however, Australia’s players were needed to help protect the square.
Rain and wind blighted Junction Oval for long enough to force an early end to a match Australia had well within their keeping against West Indies, leaving the players to help marshal the covers amid some heavy gusts.
She had been unwanted by Australia for the early encounters of the West Indies tour, as the selectors first chose Jess Jonassen’s slow left-arm and then added another pace bowler in Kim Garth. Meanwhile, King worked assiduously on her length at home in Perth, and landed more or less every delivery on the teasing spot here.“Just making sure that I own my length,” King said.
Given the concurrent struggles of the Australian men’s team to find the right spin bowling combination in their World Cup campaign in India, King’s skills were a privilege to watch on a cold October afternoon., who had taken part in the inaugural World Cup in England and were guests of honour at Junction Oval on this inconveniently damp day.
