What sparked the celebration at Lord’s after England’s semi‑final win?
Yes, here we are again. In everyday life. But isn't it nice? Familiar flowers and flowers. They make a living. And if you want to make a living, then stop and take a break. Something like this. Eloveena.
Full of life.
To beat them, what's needed? Composure. Some people to stand up, take responsibility. Some bravery.
I lose my wicket in the 15th over. That's okay, because loads of balls for Freya and loads of balls for Dani is not a bad thing, so.
Katherine does like to talk about cricket sometimes, and sometimes I find it hard to listen. There's no time for that.
I've really enjoyed not
having to watch you bowl.
What do you mean? What do you mean? What's wrong with my bowling? Can you break that down? This could cause a domestic. All right, well, that's a good start to talk about the final. Oh, I'm so excited.
Hello and welcome to For the Love of Cricket. I'm Ebony Rainford-Brent. She is Katherine Siverbrunt. And it must be bring your wife to work day because she is Nat Siverbrunt. First of all, Nat, how are you doing? You should have a round of applause. Oh, on your own.
Is
there
a pie emoji?
Matt, how are you feeling? Winning the semi-final. I'm tired. Can I ask before, did you walk through your gate yesterday? You have your own gate at the
Oval. Every time,
mandatory. Do you get
them? No. Her dad does. That's like the meeting place for all the
siblings and the cousins and the uncles, aunties, godfathers
and things. They all meet at your gate. Yeah, they have to. No, but the bus drops you off at Roadside, so you walk through that town-style bit. Alex Stewart Gate. It's not an official gate. Oh, I know which one you mean on the corner. Near where Alice Caps is on the wall. Yeah, I know what you mean around the corner. So how are you feeling?
Can we
first of
all have emotions?
Yeah, this is
why
I did
the round of applauses.
I'm feeling emotionally drained yeah it was a big day yesterday and getting up for getting up for the match and yeah having missed out three games myself not sure how it was going to go like injury wise and yeah the game obviously didn't start off brilliantly for us and then Heather and I came together and managed to do something really special so yeah
There was a point where I was up in the thing and obviously as an ex-player you always, you think you remember all the stuff they say in the changing room and like meetings that you have and stuff and there's a huge stat on like losing three wickets in the power play and as soon as that happened my whole body was just like tense and I was like oh that's it then, that's it then. And trust
that was the first game you came to watch.
Yeah.
It's different, isn't it? Because this whole tournament feels different for England. Something's different. And we can put our finger up, but I think it's just the fact that it's a great time. It's come together. Everybody's sort of peaking at once. And what I loved about yesterday is that Heather and Nat and myself, as a fan watching, couldn't have appreciated what happened for what it was at the time. You just nitpick. You're like, oh, God, I just hope that's enough. Like, I think it's 10 short. We're just going to have to bowl really well. And then they're obviously in response. And you think, that was actually a phenomenal partnership. And, like, so much guts after what... what I said about the wickets and the power play thing, that would have been in their heads too.
You can't get rid
of that. So for them to turn that around and put an unbelievably competitive score on the board was just so good. That must have filled you all with a lot of confidence. Honestly, being around her the last six weeks and especially the last week, The sort of emotions and the vulnerability she showed, I've never seen it before. It's been quite eye-opening because no one gets to see that side of Nat. Honestly, to see even the 24-hour turnaround to what you were like to then what you did last night, I don't think anybody could probably appreciate it as much as me.
You've seen it. Well, I kind of do want to know what you did over these last few weeks because I know you did your cough.
