Women's cricket has come a long way. Anyone who supposes that it is merely a version of jolly hockey sticks is woefully misguided. It is tough and uncompromising, and when England play Australia in the Women's World Twenty20 final today, no quarter will be given, none asked. In short, there will be sledging. Nothing too ripe for most tastes, perhaps, but there will be no easy rides or soft touches out in the middle at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium.
