Sciver-Brunt urges England to end washout Ashes tour on positive note
England's Nat Sciver-Brunt, May 23, 2024

THE WOMEN'S Ashes may be long gone, but England vice-captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is out to salvage “personal pride” in this week’s prestigious Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

When the series schedule was first announced, it was hoped the day/night clash would act as a thrilling conclusion, but the tourists have been unable to stay competitive over the course of a chastening trip.

Instead, they approach the first ever floodlit Test at the historic venue facing the possibility of a 16-0 whitewash, having lost both white-ball legs 3-0.
