Just caught up with this BBC Radio 4 documentary on the women's Ashes of 2005, after a quick dash through the earlier history of women's cricket.
Main conversation features Claire Taylor, Holly Colvin, Rosalie Fairbairn and Laura Kelly MacLeod, assistant coach Neil Rider and journalist Alison Mitchell.

Whoa! Over on BBC Sport English fans are sticking knives into their women's #cricket team. Almost seems like part of the problem, being incensed because they were comprehensively beaten by a better team. And yet, hardly any of them even mention Australia in their comments. It's like a sense of entitlement that they should've been better.
Having watched the whole #WAshes series, I wouldn't say it's a skills/talent issue so much as an attitude problem (just like the men's team). Lots of fine skills on display, but did they think it would be a walk in the park? That they just had to tun up and that was enough?

The 14 wickets taken by Alana King (9-98) and Ash Gardner (5-69) at the MCG were the most taken by Australian women's spinners in a Test since at least the 1950s (the number of bowlers with mixed styles makes it hard specify precisely how many fell to spin or pace in that era).
-
Alana King (9-98) is the second legspinner to take nine wickets in a Women's Ashes Test.
The other was Australia's Peggy Antonio (9-91) at Northampton in 1937.
