We've reached the end of the women's cricket season in Australia and it's time to wrap the 2023/24 summer up in a neat little bow. Tasmania have claimed their third-straight Ruth Preddy Cup in the 50-over Women's National Cricket League, as Heather Graham starred with the ball (3 wickets) and Nicola Carey powered the Tigers home with the bat. A match-winning century from Carey saw her earn POTM honours, whilst debunking the silly cricket superstition associated with scoring 'a Nelson' (111 runs). In India, the second season of the Women's Premier League has just got underway and although plenty of Aussies are featuring in the tournament again, none have really shone just yet.Beamsy and Britt discuss Tasmania's domestic dominance and ponder whether the Australian WPL imports might be a bit tired, before looking back on some of the broader talking points of the summer regarding new captain Alyssa Healy and the anticipation of a potentially shortened Women's Big Bash League next season.

Australia have won the multi-format women's series against South Africa 12 points to 4, after a huge Test victory in Perth by an innings and 284 runs. Annabel Sutherland's special double century and Darcie Brown's 5fa highlighted the Test match as both young players entertained the fans and gave a promising glimpse into the future of the Australian women's team.For the Proteas though, the situation was dire, as they slumped to their lowest Test innings total early on and struggled to build partnerships on a bouncy pitch. Major talking points include: Marizanne Kapp's omission through illness, Laura Wolvaardt's captaincy, and the long list of retirements that has resulted in a major loss of experience for South Africa due to a breakdown in relationship between its administration and its players.

Australia lead the multi-format women's series 8-4 with just the Test match left to come. There have been a lot of firsts this series already, as South Africa claimed their maiden T20I and ODI victories against the Aussies, and now there will be another as the two teams meet in a Test match for the first time. Before we get there though, Beamsy and Britt discuss all the action from the one-day international matches, which saw Marizanne Kapp star with the bat. But is it boom or bust for the Proteas if Kapp doesn't perform? Other talking points include: the lack of media coverage for Ash Gardner's second Belinda Clark Award, reflections from Meg Lanning and Rach Haynes about the pressures of leading the Australian team, and Sophie Molineux's well deserved Test call-up after losing her national contract.

South Africa has gotten its first-ever victory against Australia in women's cricket but its the hosts that have won the T20 International component of the multi-format series to take a 4-2 lead overall. So far, it's felt like the tour has been The Beth Mooney Show, after the opening batter claimed two Player of the Match awards, became the new highest run-scorer at Manuka Oval, and also managed to steer her team home in the deciding T20I in Hobart whilst battling food poisoning. The Proteas have shown glimpses of greatness and new captain Laura Wolvaardt has learnt so much in such a small space of time, but they'll have their work cut out for them over the next couple of weeks as they take on Australia in the ODIs — the world number one team's strongest format. 

The Australian women's cricket team are back on home soil and ready to play another multi-format series — this time against South Africa.The last meeting between these two sides was at the final of the 2023 T20 World Cup in Cape Town and we're hoping this contest will live up to equally as good an occasion. Player of the Match from that day Beth Mooney takes us back to relive that moment.The touring Proteas do have their work cut out for them though, with a new captain and lots of fresh faces in their side after a exodus of experience through mass retirement. So do they have what it takes to beat Australia? We take a closer look at their squad, hear about Ash Gardner's record-breaking year, while also updating the state of play in the WNCL and previewing the Governor General's XI.

Australia's women have continued their white-ball cricket dominance, with a T20 International series win over India 2-1, to follow their clean sweep of the ODI format.Ellyse Perry reached her 300th game for Australia and Alyssa Healy played her 150th T20I, in what were huge milestone moments for both senior players. Overall, the team only dropped two matches throughout their multi-format tour, losing the Test and the first T20 International.So what did they learn from the sub-continent conditions? How deadly does this Indian team's future look in women's cricket after some strong performances on home soil, new faces on debut and a different approach to selection? And how will this series shape Australia's next challenge against South Africa in a multi-format series at home?We wrap all the auction from Mumbai.

The Australian women's cricket team are back to their winning ways, claiming the ODI series in Mumbai in a clean sweep. The largest of the victories came in game three by 190 runs, where Phoebe Litchfield was the star of the show, scoring her second ODI century.We wrap all the major talking points of the series, including: captain Alyssa Healy's comments on a lack of media coverage, the mishandling of concussion in game two and whether it's even possible to manage people's expectations of this successful Australian team.

The Australian women's cricket team is gearing up to play India in a multi-format series that begins with a rare Test match in subcontinent conditions. But India just last week thrashed England by a record 347 runs in the same format, so will the hosts have the same dominance this time or can the world number one side put up a better fight? This tour will also be Alyssa Healy's first officially as national captain and we are keen to see how will she fare against opposing skipper Harmanpreet Kaur — a player she hasn't particularly seen eye-to-eye with over the past 12 months.We preview what's to come for these two teams and speculate about the potential shake-ups to Australia's batting and bowling line-up.

Australia's 20th women's captain has been confirmed, as Alyssa Healy takes on the role permanently and cements herself as a true leader in the national team.Her right-hand woman will be new vice-captain Tahlia McGrath, who is surely being primed for the big job herself in the years to come. Beyond leadership, there's WPL Auction chatter and the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) to talk about, before we catch up with Adelaide Strikers champion legspinner Amanda-Jade Wellington.

Season 13, Ep 25: While the Women's T20 World Cup final might have gone entirely as expected to complete a hat-trick, the domestic WNCL final did not - an astonishing game of cricket even before the five-wicket final over. Meanwhile, the first women's IPL edition is gearing up for its start. Elsewhere, England and New Zealand set up an intriguing final day that got even better than expected after we finished recording this podcast. And there's a return for Happy Birthday Sachin, with a story via Bollywood actor Saiyama Kher.
