Cricket: Annabel Sutherland is looking forward to her chance to bat for Australia for a longer period of time.
Sutherland awaits chance with the bat | 01:06Australia spinner Alana King did her best to laugh off being forced to help ground staff unfold and run out covers with her teammates as wild weather hit the second ODI against the West Indies in Melbourne amid questions over the lack of ground staff.

After her incredible exploits in the T20 series, Matthews was sorely missed in the first game as her side was skittled for 83, but an almost identical scene unfolded in rain-affected conditions in Melbourne as Australia tore through the visitors. King ripped a flighted delivery past the outside edge of Stafanie Taylor to bowl the West Indies star before she trapped Shemaine Campbell in front of her stumps.
