Women's Ashes, 1st Test: Meg Lanning Believes Australia Took The Game Forward 'Pretty Quick'
Australia captain Meg Lanning was happy with the way her batters moved very quickly on day one of the women's Ashes Test at the Manuka Oval on Thursday. She added that Australia will be targeting to go above 350 on day two after being 327/7 at stumps on day one. Meg was the top run-scorer with 93 and was supported by fifties from Rachael Haynes (86), Ashleigh Gardner (56) and Tahlia McGrath (52).
"I think if you'd said (beforehand) we'd score 327 on the first day, we'd be pretty happy. It's important tomorrow that we sort of finish that off and try and get above that 350 mark, which will give us a little bit of room to move. We have been able to move the game forward pretty quick. It's a good batting track and fast outfield. If we can push past 350, as close to 400 as we can, I think that puts us in a good spot," Meg was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after the day's play.
