Australian allrounder Grace Harris has signed off from The Hundred with a tasty match-winning knock served up by the most recent of her thumping bats to be named after a fast-food deal with.
“I name all my bats after burgers because they’re all stickered the same,” defined one of many sport’s nice characters with a smile after her blistering 87 – the second highest rating within the girls’s competitors this summer time – impressed London Spirit to a 73-run overcome Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston on Thursday.
“How’d you tell them apart otherwise? This one’s already named – Zinger Stacker.
“It got here by at present. It has a chunkier center – as does Big Mac. They’ve simply been damaged and might need to go to the store for repairs.”
The 29-year-old from Ipswich, who also has bats she’s christened Barbecue Angus and McNugget which have helped her wreak havoc in the WBBL, said it was “one of many higher days” she’d had in England after a largely disappointing edition of The Hundred for her.
“I’m blissful to have freed up and contributed. I cherished the pitch as a batter, however I would not have if I have been a bowler, although. Lucky I did not need to roll the arm over.”
In her last match of the campaign, Harris smashed 87 off just 47 balls, propelling Spirit to 5-172 after they had been put in by the home side.
She moved to a 31-ball half-century, getting to the landmark by sweeping her 10th boundary, and then really let loose with successive sixes off Erin Burns and Sophie Devine.
Phoenix couldn’t get anywhere near the target, being bowled out for 99 in just 76 balls, with New Zealander Amelia Kerr taking 4-13 to enable them to end their campaign with a second victory to go with four defeats and two ‘no results’.
“I’ve had a ball with the London Spirit, would’ve cherished to have contributed extra however possibly subsequent 12 months,” mentioned Harris.
