大象传媒

The third episode of a new series where the 大象传媒鈥檚 Chief cricket writer Stephan Shemilt discovers some of the untold stories from the Ashes.

In this edition Stephan talks to former Australia batting all-rounder Sarah Elliott who made a hundred against England whilst breast-feeding her nine-month-old son during intervals.

Elliott became pregnant in 2021 a year before a women鈥檚 Ashes series. At first she thought becoming a mum might end her international career, or at least put it on hold, until she asked if she could combine motherhood with playing for Australia. That set off a chain of events that led to her Ashes hundred, made with baby Sam on the boundary edge.

As ever, you can read much more on the 大象传媒 Sport website and app.
