and a stretch um to obviously be here at this sort of venue central london with the players going for kind of the sums of money i mean if you want an indication of how far the women's game's grown there you go and what about i don't know the way that the hundreds grown as well because you know you played at the start of the competition when the highest salary was was 15 000 pounds so firstly making that comparison but also i don't know at the time did it feel like something that could that could grow into to what we're seeing today
It's felt like the women's competition has almost been the heartbeat of the 100 and we're seeing that today.
The first tournament to be involved in the auction, first major auction in British sport.
Like I said, the women's 100 is the heartbeat of the competition over these first five or six years.
So you've been down there on the table with Southern Brave and you've been spending big money on young English players.
So let's take them one at a time.
Izzy Wong, firstly, as a fast bowler, close to your heart, why did you want to spend almost £200,000 on Izzy Wong?
You mentioned the tough time that Izzy's had over the past year or so she really burst onto the scene as an international cricketer you say that you know you're looking at the way that she's improved and it's not just a signing for this year but for many years to come when you're making those signings are you making those sort of long-term bets and maybe not always taking into account what's happened in the most recent past but also you know what could go right in the future?
There'll be some people who aren't aware of Tilly Courtney Coleman, 18-year-old spin bowler, who is now just over £100,000 richer.
Tell us about her.
Just tell us what it's like being on that table when you've got a certain amount of money to spend and a squad to assemble.
Now, there'll be a lot of people listening to this who might have played fantasy sports before, fantasy cricket, fantasy football.
You've got a budget, you're trying to build a squad, you don't know what you're going to do.
You always want a bit more money.
What's it like down there when, I don't know, you see a player, you want to buy her, the money keeps going up and up.
You're trying to think, how am I going to build an entire squad?
I've only got this much money.
What's it like?
And just finally, a minute ago, you said there weren't many times when you missed playing.
Is today one of them, when you see those sums of money going up on the screen next to some of those players, you think, oh, I wouldn't mind a bit of that?
