If it means playing injured and hurting, she will do that. It's quite lonely and alienating and stressful, especially when you're working in the middle of a World Cup. I couldn't have been a wicketkeeper. 100% life ban.
Ebony Rainford-Brent 0:36
I'm putting in a hard shift at the moment, and so I've had to get myself something to keep me going. Obviously, I'm on the water. I need to join. It's been a stressful week, mate. Cheers. It's been a stressful week. Down in one.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 0:50
I want to knock the sh** out. But I would have been reserved. But in the changing room, it's rage against the machine.
Ebony Rainford-Brent 0:57
I'm going to talk about me because you haven't asked me one question. So I'm going to talk about my experience and then I'll bring you in.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 1:04
Wait, wait, because we've got a pie in my hand. This is basically the Ebbs. Interviewing covering chefs.
Ebony Rainford-Brent 1:15
Hello and welcome to the show. I'm Ebony Rain for Brent and she is Catherine Siverbrunn, England's all-time leading wicket taker. How are you doing, first of all, Brunty? I'm rough as fuck, actually.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 1:27
Just to kick us off. I've not slept for about a week now because Theo's just being... I think he's caught the spirit. He's got woke-up fever, so he's really giving it to me. Could do a really good night's sleep, can you tell?
Ebony Rainford-Brent 1:41
Well, I'm guessing you feeling like that means you're going to let the... Let the goods out on the show. Oh dear. Okay, well, good to hear. I'm feeling good. I got to do the trophy walkout today. Are you feeling quite special about yourself? Did you see, first of all?
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 1:57
I saw Connie in a lovely black dress, I believe, not a onesie. I was going to say a onesie. And then you were alongside in your special outfit.
Ebony Rainford-Brent 2:07
So yeah, well, there was a bit of a drama actually, just stitching Claire Connor up. But I saw Mel Jones, the Australian legend, walking out the trophy. She held the trophy and she was flanked by two important people. So I got the memo that I was allowed to carry the trophy. So I get to the mark carrying the trophy. And Connie just walks down the stairs, fresh out of the box. Sorry, Connie. Gives me the elbow and takes the trophy out of my hands. And then I'm walking alongside Connie. So I'm just winding you up that I got going.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 2:43
Are any of you actually allowed to hold it? Because I believe it's only previous World Cup winners. Oh, good point. So T20 World Cup winners would be... I'm in that. Yeah, you're in that. Yeah, I'm allowed to hold it. So you should just bump them both out of the way. Big old booty bump.
Ebony Rainford-Brent 3:00
Sorry, love. This is fine. Get out of the way. Anyway, Connie, just holding that up. But thank you very much. Anyway, let's talk about the fact that the ICC Women's T20 World Cup is under the way. Let's start with what you've made of the tournament overall so far.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 3:15
I've actually been loving it. We've got, obviously, the opener, England, Sri Lanka. That was an absolute belter. I felt like England, it was a bit terrifying actually, because England was so good across the board. I was like, normally we start off pants, we get absolutely hammered and then we sort ourselves out, but they started so well. And I was actually really worried about the rest of it going on. Will we remain this good, this clinical? And they are doing so. Yeah, fingers crossed. And they can only get better from here. I think the only thing, that they might get caught short in is being too good. For instance, that middle to lower order, not getting a go and we know from previous tournaments that you'd need to be, you need to be playing, you need to be facing ball.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt 4:08
So yeah, I'd actually quite like us to have a wobble to expose our middle to lower order, see what they can do as well. So yeah, we're almost guilty of being too good at the minute and then sucks for us because we diss in Australia somewhat and sort of looking pretty sick.
