Sixteen years ago a teenaged Taylor sat in one of the stands at Lord’s and watched England win the women’s World Cup for the first time since they triumphed in the inaugural tournament in 1973. Last month she was in the England team that won it a third time — that’s three times more than the England men have achieved — in Australia.
I've always felt that women's cricket has had a hard time in England. My aunt (a fast bowler) played against Australia in the 1930s, so although I've never played myself, I do take an interest.
