  • Australia's champion women's cricket team stands on the shoulders of some of the most talented, bold, and daring women of preceding generations. And pivotal to that modern success is the first Australia and England women's test series held here in the aftermath of the brutal 'Bodyline' Ashes series in 1932/33. It was a moment in time when the crowds turned up in their thousands to watch the women's Tests, the newspapers devoted column inches to the contests, and our women's cricketers looked set for a cherished place in the national sporting land. This podcast series is about history, sport, Australia, and England, newspapers and journalists, triumph and loss, tradition and innovation. It's about the greatest rivalry in cricket, but more importantly, it's about the spirit and perseverance of dozens of women to make their own cricket history. It was the long, hot days at the end of 1934, and the bright start of 1935. It was, for Australia's women's cricketers, the maiden summer.

    The Final Frontier
    2021/12/05

    Episode 6 - The Final Frontier: Those at the top of the women's game know there's only one solution if women's cricket is going to thrive, and that's to amalgamate with the men. But how is that going to happen? And who will help deliver it? It takes some inspired help from a future governor general plus several key moments - on field and off - to keep the momentum building. And to set up that golden moment at the MCG in March, 2020, when 86,000 fans turn up to cheer Australia on to win the T20 World Cup.
