Bears Head of Women’s Cricket and ex-England opener Laura MacLeod admits “cringing” at clips of her international days and says there’s no comparison to today’s explosive batters.
MacLeod scored more than 1,800 runs in 89 England appearances between 1997 and 2007 and was part of the Ashes winning 2005 squad.
But the 46-year-old admits highlights of her England innings are a tough watch when viewed in the context of today’s free-flowing, big-hitting women’s game.
We sat MacLeod down to look through highlights of the 5th ODI vs Australia at Taunton in 2005 when, opening the batting with Charlotte Edwards, she scored 61.
And it’s clear she was an early adopter of the ramp shot in the women’s game! 🏏
