ou know that scene in a hundred movies, where someone surveying some carnage or other asks “Who could have done this?” And the reply comes “There’s only one man who could have done this…!” Hold that thought! It’s the 14th over at Durham’s Riverside Ground, and leg-spinner Katie Levick is bowling to England’s Sophie Ecclestone, who is always a threat with the bat, even if she doesn’t come off very often. Suzie Bates, who is marshalling the field, has Ecclestone (7 off 12 balls) locked down by a packed off side. Trying to break the shackles, Ecclestone slog-sweeps against the spin, getting a bit of a top edge but with acres of space on the leg side it looks quite safe from the fielder on the midwicket boundary. The fielder though is having none of it – she sets off like a sprinter out of the blocks, running fully 25 yards before diving at full stretch plucking the ball out of the air inches from the ground. Who could have done this? I knew immediately. There’s only one woman In The World who could have done this: Mady Villiers! It wasn’t really a particularly pivotal incident in the game – in fact it arguably damaged Durham, because (for all her potential to cause havoc) Ecclestone wasn’t looking in great nick, and she was replaced by Ailsa Lister, who was – of which, more anon. But it was one of those moments that reminds you why you travel 300 miles (via Derby and Manchester) to watch a game of cricket on a sunny-but-deceptively-chilly afternoon in Chester-le-Street.
