The achievement is all the more praiseworthy as this was the youngest team the League has fielded in this fixture to date, but Cheshire’s three 15 year old bowlers – Molly Price, Liv Bell and Emma Capper – all bowled superbly. However, the real matchwinning performance came from Carys White, herself only 18 years of age, on what was certainly the highlight of her brief career to date. Whatever else she may achieve in her career, this really was a day on which she can be hugely proud of her efforts. The League was privileged to welcome England legend Claire Taylor as part of the MCC eleven for the first time, and the crowd were indeed truly fortunate to witness her innings, which can only be described as a masterclass.
