Rolton eyes 4000 domestic runs

Karen Rolton is on target to be the second player in the history of the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) to score 4000 runs. Rolton, the Australian captain, needs just 18 runs to reach the milestone first achieved by former captain Belinda Clark.

Rolton will lead the South Australia Scorpions on their away trip to Sydney next week, which will feature a practice match v ACT, prior to the WNCL matches against New South Wales.

Two new players join the squad: fast bowler Leanne Davis, and Tegan McPharlin, the middle-order batsman. Both players have been chosen following strong grade/district performances.

England's Jenny Gunn, who plays grade cricket in Sydney, will also play for the Scorpions for the second successive year.
