I think it's crazy looking forward to think that they're not going to be there.
They are sort of ever-present in our changing room.
And both of them, I think the amount of experience they brought, the runs that they brought, the personalities around the group as well, it's going to be a big loss.
One of our batting coach actually put it really well in terms of the impact that both of them, but particularly Heather, when in her time as England captain, have had on wider the game of cricket.
He said something like, when Heather became England captain, rounders was the girls' summer sport.
That's what girls play in summer.
They played rounders.
And through the course of Heather's career as England captain and growing the game and reaching new audiences, nobody plays rounders anymore.
Everybody plays cricket.
And rounders has basically been put into...
Yeah, they came in and Jemmy said some words and then they gave them some shirts.
And then they actually stayed around a bit after and we got to kind of mingle with them, which was really nice because they're a really nice group of girls, actually.
And, you know, we don't necessarily get to see them that often, but a lot of us have played with them in franchise stuff as well.
So to kind of be able to chat to them was really nice.
But I think it shows, I guess, A, the class from them to kind of recognise how good these two are.
Equally, it speaks volumes of the class of both Heather and Tammy.
did you guys talk about it did you think oh that's a bit of a shame we sort of came in at tea and there's tellies in the changing room we went to look to the telly because usually it's sort of highlight reels of yourself getting smacked through the covers before and you think oh you'd always look at it be like scared to see what's on it yeah and then you see like two guys sat on a bench and you know what they talking about and then you we saw underneath it that mccullum had gone and
We only get 20 minutes at tea.
So we kind of, I feel like I didn't necessarily really process it until after the game because we had like 10 minutes to like have some food.
And then it was like, all right, we're talking about what we're doing the next session, how the one before went.
