Our first game CricInfo World Cup 2000. Although we have been here now for two weeks, it is still really hard comprehending that we are really here .
Spirits are high and the feeling is everyone is unbelievably eager to get on with the task ahead.
Our first task was to beat the Netherlands today. As you may see from the scorecard , this was a good win for us. We batted first. A fantastic effort from our top order meant that I could sit in my shorts for 50 overs and attempt to get a bit of a suntan. We ended the innings with 256, Lottie Edwards scoring a brilliant 139, partnered by Barbara Daniels with 79.
