Fire look to next season to bounce back

Queensland Fire will now have to go back to the drawing board and prepare and hone their skills for next season after being convincingly beaten by a resurgent and late improver Western Australia Fury at the Gabba last Friday and Saturday, on top of the thriller Twenty20 match the day before.

Fury's Lauren Ebsary was in total command in both WNCL matches and when I saw her on Saturday was a joy to watch and will give the Southern Stars selectors a few headaches in selecting the Twenty20, one dayer and Ashes Test Match squads.

Best performers for Fire this season were:
Kirsten Pike - Bowling:13 wickets, 21.23 avg
Jodie Purves - Wicketkeeping: 14 ct 2 stumpings 16 total
Batting: 214 runs, 30.57 avg, 56.83 sr

Congrats to NSW Breakers and SA Scorpions who deservedly will play in the one match WNCL Final to be held in Sydney at the glorious SCG next Saturday 19th January. This will be a difficult final to predict, both sides have true champions and heaps of class - should be a beauty!,
