Ciara Metcalfe is a legspinner of some considerable talent. Her career-best figures of 5 for 18 came against Netherlands in the 2007 European Championships. She was crowned "wrecker-in-chief" by the tournament web editor, and is hoping to do similar damage at the World Cup qualifiers in November in Lahore when she and her team are hoping to fend off stiff opposition to gain a place at the 2009 World Cup.
