After becoming only the fourth England woman cricketer to play 100 ODIs, Claire Taylor says she is still motivated as there are a few personal goals as well as some big team goals to achieve before she retires. On the England board's website, she talks about how she was unprepared for international cricket when she made her debut in 1998, her dazzling 156 not out two years ago (the highest individual score made in a one-dayer at Lord's), and the strong England side she's playing in.
We need 11 match-winners and it’s brilliant that so many people have put their hands up this summer – we have had seven different players of the match.
“It’s the first time in my time with England that we are selecting teams based on conditions. If we need another swing bowler, we have one. If we need another batsman, we’ve got another batsman. If we need a spinner, a quick bowler – they are all tapping on the door.
