Happy as Harris: Grace ready for WPL bash
The Morning Standard
|February 24, 2024
WARRIORZ'S Grace Harris is a live wire. She is known for hitting big sixes. Taking some unbelievable catches. While doing a commentary on her performance.
Take this for example. In the recent season of the Women's Big Bash League, playing at the North Sydney Oval, she felt like something was wrong with the bat handle. "I noticed that the bat was clicking a little bit. I yelled at the bench that (I might need a new bat). And you know with the shorter formats, how they don't like stoppages in the play. I had to wait till the end of the over. So I thought, 'Stuff it, Grace!'. I had to hit it. It was not as if I was not middling them that day, up until that time anyway (she had hit 64 runs off 36 at that time). Turns out the bat snapped and it went for a six," she cannot control her laughter while recalling the story to this daily.
