"A quick update of Lauren Smith’s experience playing cricket with Lancashire County Cricket Club in England.
Lancashire currently lead the division in the 50 over competition and will gain promotion to division one with 3 games left, if they win it. They achieved a division 1 mid-table finish in the T20 league after gaining promotion last year, beating the eventual winners Kent. This was better than expected especially as the winning team had multiple internationals including the ex-England captain.
Lauren has performed well in both formats taking 15 wickets at 6 runs per wicket and scoring 5 fifties at an average of 38 batting at first drop. The weather has been indifferent with many games either abandoned half way or cancelled without a ball being bowled. In her last T20 game she was 24 not out when the rain came. She took the wickets of 2 England internationals while bowling in that game.
She has been enjoying extra-curricular activities with trips to Italy, France and Spain next month as well as multiple visits to London. She also enjoyed the presence of her brother earlier this month.
She will be back mid-September and is looking forward to some warmer weather although NSW and Sydney Sixers training will be full on. All-in-all a great experience!
Now to try and obtain some sponsorship."
