You might have covered this already on podcast episodes but who would you have taken to Ireland? I am saddened to see Rhianna Southby & Ellie Threlkeld overlooked + Alexa Stonehouse.
Charlie Dean an excellent choice for captain imo.

In the season which begins this autumn, will we see Maeve Óg back playing as she was injured for a while, or has she already returned to rugby football but not yet for Ireland?

Based on that test match, I have a number of concerns about this England team but you guys are on the spot, so I'll wait for your evaluations.

Are you broadly happy with England's choice of XI or are Emma Lamb, Ellie Threlkeld and ?Alexa Stonehouse? unlucky here? Would you say some players have earned a swansong?

I just started listening to the latest episode. I hope the smaller (economy) nations can find more funding.
You mention Shabnam & Dané returning from retirement for SA. This worries me. Are there no young players in SA to trust?

I don't agree that we should refer to anyone as "the best bowler in the world". I think any bowler is only as good as their last spell, the same way a pilot is only as good as their last flight.
