In their chase of 105 for the championship, the Sparks were 28 for three after six overs a short time ago with dangerwoman Suzie Bates gone.

Former nurse Lucy Letby became one of the UK's most notorious child killers after she was convicted in 2023 of harming and murdering babies in her care. The nurse was found guilty by two juries after lengthy trials, but now there's been speculation over whether some evidence in the Letby trial was reliable. BBC Special Correspondent Judith Moritz is the co-author of the book Unmasking Lucy Letby: The untold story of the killer nurse. She joins Nuala McGovern to discuss what she has discovered since the trial ended.The actor J. Smith Cameron is currently on stage in London's West End alongside Mark Rylance in Juno and the Paycock.

The ABC's maiden cricket podcast hosted by Kristen Beams and Brittany Carter. Australia suffered a shock upset to South Africa in the semis to miss out on the dream four-peat! While the White Ferns beat the Proteas in the final to claim their first T20 World Cup title. It was hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the fairytale, as our neighbours finally lifted the trophy after 15 long years. Sending their team captain Sophie Devine out on a high.We take you through all the major talking points and also preview the Women's Big Bash ahead of its 10th season.

Henry Moeran is joined by Tash Farrant, Daniel Norcross and Firdose Moonda, bringing reaction from Dubai, as New Zealand Women win their first ever T20 World Cup, beating South Africa by 32 runs. We'll hear from player of the match, and the tournament, Melie Kerr, as well as Suzie Bates. Later in the episode, we'll also hear from Sir Alastair Cook, who was at the game, after being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

Oh my! What a turnaround. This morning the White Ferns beat the West Indies to secure their place in the ICC Womens T20 World Cup final. South Africa awaits in a final bereft of the two biggest teams in women's cricket, the almost peerless Australians and the other perpetual thorn in the side of the Kiwis, England. This victory represents a changing of the guard at the pointed end of the women's game here. The transfer of power from the old school to the next generation looked to be a step too far for the side, who had relied on the immense talent of Devine, Bates, and Kerr for some time. This is not to dismiss the contribution of Tahuhu, one of the better stories of redemption in the team, nor the efforts of Green, Halliday, etc. The next tier of players though, had not shown the way forward, and the team had been staggering in transition. It took the World Cup for previous efforts to crystalize, with the likes of Eden Carson and Georgia Plimmer paying back the faith shown in them. This morning's game was a ripper but won't mean much if the title isn't secured on Monday. A note about Suzie Bates. She took the ball for the final over, after not bowling a ball in the tournament to date – a huge punt, but one that paid dividends as she showed that the veterans are far from a spent force.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The White Ferns will be relying heavily on the experience of two veteran players, Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates, at next month's T20 World Cup in the UAE. Devine and Bates have both been selected for their ninth T20 world events and between them have more than 300 appearances for New Zealand in the shortest format of the game. Only one player in the 15-strong squad named today hasn't played at a T20 World Cup before, sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

Suzie Bates is the GOAT of New Zealand women's cricket. And just an awesome all-round human. She first made the New Zealand team in 2006 when she was 19. Now she is 36 and still playing like the absolute boss that she isShe's also a bloody talented basketballer and went to the Olympics in 2008 playing for the NZ side- we talk about that experience including how she ended up partying with the USA “Redeem team” including LeBron and Kobe.We chat about her alter-ego "Betsy" who comes out after a couple of chardonnays, what Mick Jagger WASN'T wearing when she met him in his dressing room and much much more.I was left with the impression that she has such a growth mindset that she doesn't take a lot of time to pause and reflect on all the cool stuff she has achieved and experienced in her life. And there is so so much to reflect on!Thanks to the legends at Radix Nutrition for getting behind this episode.Mike and the team at Radix have been key players in helping this little podcast grow from nothing into something I'm really proud of.If I could ask one favor of you, it would be to check out their website:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

The White Ferns will face England for the bronze medal after taking Australia to the final over but losing by five wickets at Edgbaston tonight. It was a much more creditable performance from New Zealand after they had been crushed by the hosts in their final group game, a result that set up a semifinal against the tournament's firm favourites. But Australia never seriously looked like ceding their chance to play for gold, now set to do so against India tomorrow, while the White Ferns have 13 hours to prepare for a clash with a side who restricted them to 71-9 two days ago. They will at least take heart from pushing the best team in the world tonight, especially since the bowling effort was hindered by several missed opportunities. Sophie Devine top scored with 53 from 48 balls while Lea Tahuhu proved the folly of initially omitting her from this squad - and excluding her from the national contract list - by taking 3-20 from four overs. It wasn't quite enough, however, as Australia paced their chase well enough to survive a few late setbacks, reaching their target with three balls to spare. Considering the White Ferns began their innings on the verge of calamity, and considering how poorly they had batted two days ago, 144-7 represented an admirable - if not defendable - total. After being sent in and seeing Suzie Bates chop on for a first-ball duck, Georgia Plimmer could hardly have asked for more difficult circumstances in which to make her maiden appearance. And the 18-year-old almost suffered a disastrous debut, being given out the very next delivery after being rapped on the pad before surviving on review. That reversal was greeted with a huge cheer from the crowd, perhaps not wanting such a fate to befall a teenager, perhaps merely wanting New Zealand to make a match of it. That's what the White Ferns set about doing, with Plimmer stroking a few morale-boosting boundaries before falling for 17. Devine and Amelia Kerr then laid the platform for New Zealand to post a target that would at least take some chasing, sharing in a 73-run stand from 64 balls. The skipper looked in position to launch when her side reached 101-2 at the end of the 15th over, but after pulling brilliantly for six to bring up her 50, she holed out two balls later. Kerr (40 from 36) would depart in similar fashion, showing fine touch to guide one to the third-man boundary before top-edging a slog sweep next ball, and that's when the runs dried up. The promotion of Tahuhu didn't work - bowled for three to drop her T20I average below 10 - and only a couple of confident drives from Brooke Halliday lifted the total above 140.Back in her primary role, Tahuhu immediately set about making that total more challenging. With her first delivery, the veteran had Alyssa Healy strangled down the leg side for a brisk 14, and the next ball Kerr spilled a difficult chance at backward point to snare the prized scalp of Meg Lanning. Tahuhu's second over started with another drop, as Izzy Gaze failed to glove Beth Mooney's thick edge, before Lanning pulled the following ball over the midwicket boundary. But Tahuhu would have the last laugh, bowling out the world's No 1 batter with a brilliant yorker to reduce Australia to 28-2. Unfortunately for the White Ferns' chances, the worst drop was still to come, Hannah Rowe contriving to grass a simple chance at mid off from Tahlia McGrath. Australia were well in control at 75-2 after 10 overs and, although Kerr ran out McGrath before Tahuhu had Mooney caught in the deep, the current run rate rarely threatened to fall below the required. Gaze missing two good stumping chances didn't help, but with Australia needing 34 runs from the final five overs, they were always in command and eventually advanced. - by Kris Shannon, NZ HeraldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a South Australian takeover from Birmingham on this week's episode of the Scoop, with Megan Schutt and Amanda-Jade Wellington joining Laura and Emily in Birmingham.The vibes are sky high in the Australian cricket camp after the team swept the group stage to set up an exciting semi-final clash with the White Ferns on Saturday. Shooter in particular is itching to have the new ball in her hand to bowl to White Ferns opening duo and her former Strikers teammates Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates. Meanwhile, Wellington has embraced the Commonwealth Games lifestyle to the absolute fullest, and has been spending any spare time on a pin collecting craze in the village. You'll have to listen for the full explainer from Wello! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Two sports will debut at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham - Women's T20 cricket and 3x3 basketball. One New Zealand athlete - dual international Suzie Bates - knows a bit about both. Bates is representing the White Ferns in the milestone event for cricket but in 2008 she was playing at the Olympics with the Tall Ferns. With a few links to the 3x3 squads in Birmingham, Bates is taking a keen interest on what is happening on the courts three kilometres away from the Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Bates, who is the longest-serving member of the New Zealand cricket team at the Games, can see some links between these two additions to the Commonwealth Games schedule and for the women competing. For Bates and the new-look White Ferns side the T20 matches in Birmingham will be the first competitive games New Zealand has played since the home world cup. Coach Ben Sawyer has been in the job eight weeks and Bates is clear about what needs to happen on the cricket pitch during a big moment for the both sport and the New Zealand team. The White Ferns first game is against South Africa is on Saturday - the same day the new Zealand men's and women's 3x3 basketball teams open their campaigns against England.

On this week's Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma we look ahead to the Commonwealth Games with New Zealand star Suzie Bates. 14 years after representing her country in basketball at the Olympics in Beijing in 2008, she says helping the White Ferns to medal in Birmingham would be a career highlight. Plus, after England's Test captain Ben Stokes announced his retirement from one-day internationals, we debate whether players are being asked to play too much cricket.

Today's guest is one of the most ridiculously talented sportswomen in our country and one of the greatest cricketers in the world. Suzie Bates has been playing top level cricket since 2006 and is just about to represent the country at the Commonwealth Games which is super exciting. Not bad for someone who also represented New Zealand at the Beijing Olympics for Basketball. Suzie is a true sportswoman and a wonderful role model and tells a great yarn.

We are back for another episode and we have an incredible guest for you. We spoke to international superstar Suzie Bates who is also playing at the upcoming Fairbreak tournament we are focusing on at the moment. We also speak through some highlights on the Women's T20 County Championships which started last weekend including Lancashire's ever best bowling figures by Alex Hartley after no winter training and an unexpected opening partnership at Warwickshire between Issy Wong & Thea Brookes which was extremely successful. We will be back next week with another Fairbreak guest but in the mean time our Instagram, TikTok & YouTube is “Noughtie Child Podcast” and our Twitter is “00ChildPodcast”.

Welcome back to the Inside Edge Podcast with Bhavi Devchand, this is the show that turns the journeys of some of leading coaches, athletes and leaders into actionable lessons you can implement into your own lives.  Now for our guest today featuring one of the all-time greats - Suzie Bates. A staggering 288 caps for New Zealand, over 8000 international runs to go alongside 125 international wickets. She is a highly sought after cricketer on the domestic T20 scene, and all of this doesn't even include being an Olympian in Basketball!Suzie and I first met when she came over to play for WA under well known coach, Steve Jenkin. She immediately struck me as self-assured, confident and very successful. As with most of the stories we've had on the show, we soon find out this was not the case at all. Suzie had many struggles with self-doubt, body image, performance anxiety and fear of others opinions.  She has since been on a remarkable journey where she now talks openly about the importance of owning who you are and then having the courage to display that version of yourself to those around you, especially when you're not feeling great. So many of us want to withdraw when struggling as it can be a lot easier. However, as Suzie mentions, the depth of connection that we all crave is done through being brave and opening up to the people close to us.  We are all craving the need to belong and connect, however there is a specific type of connection termed "high-quality connection" by psychologist Dr. Scott Barry Kaufmann. The difference between the general feeling of connection and the depth of high quality connection comes down to the ability to let yourself be seen at the most authentic level, and then having someone else respond empathetically to make you feel safe and worthy despite your imperfections.One of the great distractions occurs when we think we can get to this depth of connection through external achievements, looking good to others and being superior to them. However these are all temporary states that are ultimately out of our control. Getting sucked into this world of chasing the next goal post, only results in an unhealthy cycle that keeps our stress response chronically activated. Something special happens within each of us when we are vulnerable and experience moments of high quality connection: Our stress response is downregulated as our calm and connect system comes alive. On a biological level, we see an increase in oxytocin, which is a neurotransmitter commonly known as the love hormone, that increases our willingness to trust and cooperate with others. The strength of our vagus nerve increases, resulting in an increased ability to adapt to stress phsycially and mentally. This parasympathetic response also soothes a racing heart and opens up more activity in our frontal cortex allowing us to make rational decisions under pressure. From a leadership point of view - this is the science behind unlocking performance by allowing each individual to be themselves. It is a hot topic at the moment, empathy and a human-first approach. And for good reason. You can have the perfect structure and tick all the boxes physically, However, if you want to unlock true performance, you have to start with connection. The only way to get to this level of connection is by shedding the masks we wear. They are usually there to protect us from rejection, however the irony is that they serve as a barrier to the depth of connection. The first step of removing the masks is to embrace our imperfections. And Suzie's story is a wonderful example of how she has done this to find contentment and plenty of runs on the other side of it.

The White Ferns Cricket World Cup campaign came to an end on Saturday with a seventy-one run win over Pakistan at Christchurch's Hagley Oval, led by a 126 run knock from opener Suzie Bates. It was too little too late - the team missed out the semi finals and ended the tournament with three wins and four losses. Cricket commentator Bryan Waddle spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In this episode, we take a look back at an IPL auction that saw 11 Kiwis picked up (to join Kane Williamson, who was retained). We talk through our initial reactions, the most croresome buys, the biggest waste of crore and which teams had the best auction. We then discuss the White Ferns' wins against India in the first two ODIs, which included hundreds to Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr, plus a batting order reshuffle involving Sophie Devine. Moving around the globe, we head to Australia to chat about their T20 series against Sri Lanka, another setback for Will Pucovski and the latest rule to combat slow over rates. Finally, there's a word or two on the India v West Indies white-ball fixtures and Kieron Pollard's advice to his side. We'll be back in your feed again soon to discuss the first Test between the Black Caps and the Proteas, the White Ferns, Australia v Sri Lanka and much more in our next This Week in Cricket show.

Staffy chats to White Ferns All-Rounder Suzie Bates after their third game against the English Woman's Cricket Team.

It's another jam-packed lockdown episode with plenty going on as we cast our eyes around the world to discuss the week that was and look ahead with excitement. Are we in a special era of fast bowling? Will Shaheen Shah Afridi become one of Pakistan's greats? Are highlights packages getting worse? What impact has The Hundred had on the women's game? How much fun are the commentators having at the CPL? Will the return of Suzie Bates be enough for the White Ferns to upset England? And how excited is Raj about the upcoming Black Caps v Bangladesh series? In the second half of the show, we turn our attention to the England v India series in an attempt to figure out why we got our predictions so wrong for the 3rd Test. Did Virat Kohli make the wrong decision to bat first? Has Jarvo got someone on the inside? Is the Indian batting line up just as fragile as the English one? Can Joe Root do it again?

Listen above as White Ferns player Sophie Devine speaks to D'Arcy and Goran following their 33 run loss to Australia in the World T20.The White Ferns are dreaming of a World Cup miracle, but they're about to be woken up.A 33-run defeat to Australia in their second game of the Twenty20 Women's Cricket World Cup has dropped the White Ferns to 0-2, and left them requiring a series of outcomes ranging from "Plausible" to "Preposterous" to have any hope of qualifying for the semifinals.What needs to happen for the Ferns to make the semifinals? Well, a lot:• Ireland need to beat India on Friday morning• Australia need to beat India on Sunday morning• The Ferns need to beat both Pakistan and Ireland• The Ferns need to end up with a higher net run rate than IndiaIn reality though, you could stop hypothesising after the first proviso.Remember Ireland? They were the team who the Ferns beat by 305, 306, and 347 runs in three ODIs earlier this year, and have been swatted by Australia (by nine wickets) and Pakistan (by 38 runs) so far in the World T20.So, yeah, the White Ferns are out of the World Cup, and worse than that - set for their worst result in the history of the tournament.Only once before have the Ferns not made the semifinals, and in that year – 2014 – they won three of four games, only to miss out on the semis due to net run rate.This time, they'll go no better than 2-2, and they can't have any complaints, after Australia proved why they are the prohibitive favourites to win the whole shebang.Batting first, Australia's target of 154 didn't seem overwhelming; in fact it appeared moderately hopeful for the White Ferns, after they had pegged their rivals back from a dominant position at 71-0 through eight overs.The spin of Leigh Kasperek (3-25) did most of the damage, but while some elements of a moral victory had been accomplished, an actual victory was still going to prove difficult on the Guyana wicket against a classy Australian attack.So it proved as the Ferns' hopes and dreams dissipated within three overs. Back to the pavilion went Anna Peterson, Sophie Devine and Amy Satterthwaite, and at 13-3, their World Cup was realistically over.Suzie Bates, as she has so many times before, gave the Ferns some hope, hitting 44 from 41 balls and putting on 62 for the fourth wicket with Katey Martin, but the required run rate was always rising, and once Martin fell, so did the rest of the Ferns.From 75-3, the Ferns were bowled out for 120; what will be a limp end to a tournament which had the potential to springboard the White Ferns to greater relevancy in the New Zealand sporting landscape.Admittedly, their chance of creating mass interest back home wasn't helped by a front-loaded schedule. Had their upcoming games – and likely victories - against Pakistan and Ireland appeared earlier in the schedule, the White Ferns could have slowly built up support and interest, culminating in plenty of intrigue for their decisive showdowns against India and Australia.Instead, the reverse happened. With the Ferns 0-2 and likely eliminated from the tournament before their clash with Pakistan on Friday morning, the remaining two games are set to go by without fanfare – denying a rising group of players a superb chance to hit the spotlight.Still, there's an easy solution to that – win games. The White Ferns haven't, and instead of hitting the spotlight, their Cup campaign faces a gloomy conclusion.

A 77-run knock from Suzie Bates wasn't enough to steer the White Ferns to victory in the second of three Twenty20s against Australia in Brisbane.Australia claimed a six-wicket win, reaching the 146-run target set by the White Ferns with nine balls to spare.Opening the batting for the New Zealand side, Bates hit 11 fours and sent two over the ropes on her way to a game high score, however she got little support from her teammates. Of the 10 White Ferns to have a stint at the crease, only Bates, captain Amy Satterthwaite (27) and Maddy Green (15) were able to score in double figures."She produced an innings we'd want her to play every day if she could," Satterthwaite said of Bates' knock. "The disappointing thing is that we weren't able to support her enough from the other end."Moving forward, I think we've got to keep looking at ways the new bats coming in can look to create a strike rate from ball one and look to find the boundaries early."Chasing 146 for victory, Australian opener Alyssa Healy led the charge with the bat, scoring 57 from 41 deliveries to set her side's innings up, and Elyse Villani's unbeaten 46 steered the hosts home.The sides will meet again on Friday night in Canberra for the third and final match of the series.LISTEN TO SUZIE BATES TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVE 

LISTEN TO HAIDEE TIFFEN TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEAmy Satterthwaite won't be short on spin bowling options as she embarks on her first assignment as new White Ferns captain this month.New Zealand has named a 13-strong squad for three T20s in Australia, starting at the end of this month, and 15 players for the women's world T20 in the West Indies in November.There are five spin options in Australia, with a sixth, Anna Peterson added for the world tournament.''We are blessed with a group of versatile cricketers and know that spin should play a large part in the Caribbean, especially with the slower nature of the pitches over there,'' White Ferns coach Haidee Tiffen said.Peterson and Hannah Rowe are the additions for the world tournament, while the Australian games will be played in Sydney on September 29, Brisbane on October 1 and Canberra on October 5.Tiffen liked the good mix of youth and experience in the groups.Satterthwaite has replaced Suzie Bates as skipper, Bates standing down last week.''Amy is a highly experienced cricketer and she has taken the captaincy in her stride,'' Tiffen said.The women's world T20 starts on November 9.New Zealand squad for world T20: Amy Satterthwaite (c), Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Sophie Devine, Kate Ebrahim, Maddy Green, Holly Huddleston, Hayley Jensen, Leigh Kasperek, Amelia Kerr, Katey Martin, Anna Peterson, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu, Jess Watkin.New Zealand squad to play Australia in three T20 internationals at the end of this month:Amy Satterthwaite (c), Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Sophie Devine, Kate Ebrahim, Maddy Green, Holly Huddleston, Hayley Jensen, Leigh Kasperek, Amelia Kerr, Katey Martin, Lea Tahuhu, Jess Watkin.

Suzie Bates is relinquishing the leadership reins at the White Ferns to focus on her game.She's stood down as captain of the New Zealand women's cricket team, after almost seven years in the role.Bates says the captaincy initially helped her perform, but in the last 12 to 18 months with the extra cricket she's played, it's weighed heavily."I think it has affected my performances in the long run, especially at the end of season when perhaps I've been more fatigued."Bates says she believed her side was capable of winning each world cup she attended as captain."The 2013 World Cup India, where were playing so well but lost to the West Indies in the finals hit a few of us pretty hard, and then to not even make the semi finals at the World Cup in England."Bates told D'Arcy and Goran that, despite not always agreeing with coach Haidee Tiffen, that wasn't why she stood down. Amy Satterthwaite has been appointed the new White Ferns captain, having been part of the leadership team for several years."Even just captaining at the Canterbury level, and fortunate enough last year to captain the Melbourne Renegades at the Women's Big Bash, so I've had some leadership opportunities outside of this, and hopefully that will help me."Satterthwaite's first assignment in charge will be the three match Twenty20 international series against Australia, starting in Sydney at the end of the month.LISTEN TO SUZIE BATES TALKS WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVE
