The 12-year-old (pictured) was first brought into the attack in the 14th over, conceding four runs off her first three balls only to finish the over with a hat-trick. Due to junior cricket rotations, the fast bow- ler was sent back into the field but got another chance in the 20th over where she opened her over with a further three wickets. Remarkably, all six consecutive wickets were clean bowled, meaning Howes can take full responsibility for her dazzling display. Her previous best bowling figures were 3-0. “When I got the first wick- et, I thought ‘oh it’s just another wicket’,” she said. “I didn’t expect there to be anymore after that. We all ran in and start- ed screaming. I’m pret- ty sure the boundary could hear us. We were all so excited.” Bedford won the match by 80 runs.
