Cricket fervour is reaching its peak with the setting in of the World Cup quarter-finals. While the cricketing men are being glorified as mini-Gods, there are some who lurk in the shadows of their success.
They are the women cricketers who never get their due despite putting up amazing performances on the field and looking hot each time they do so. We take at look at some of the female cricketers who are the hottest of the lot.
Isa Guha
Isa Guha is a World Cup winning pace bowler who plays for England. Originally of Indian origin, Guha made her Test debut against India in the year 2002. To top it all, Guha even had a dinner date with Prince Charles last month at Windsor Castle during the annual dinner of the British Asian Trust. What could be cooler than that?
Lisa Carprini Sthalekar
Need we say anything more than state the fact that she was Australia’s International Woman Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008 respectively. In case we do, then we should mention the fact that she was born in Pune after which her father decided to move to Kenya and, later, Australia where she found the success that she most definitely deserved.
Aimee Mason
Mason is a batswoman from New Zealand. She was the vice-captain of the team during the 2009 World Cup. Considered one of the leading all-rounders in ODI cricket, she idolises Adam Gilchrist and is a big hitter just like him.
Ellyse Perry
Perhaps one of the most talented sportsperson Australia has seen, Perry made her debut in cricket along with football at the tender age of 16. She is the youngest person, both male and female, to represent Australia in cricket. She is a key bowler on field for the Australian team and is equally hot off it.
Rosalie Birch
Currently a member of the English Cricket team, Birch is a lower middle order batswoman. She won the 'Player of the Match' Award in her very first ODI match and has gone ahead to build a remarkable career since her debut. We should also mention that she is a stunner in the looks department as suggested from the picture.
Cecelia Joyce
This lady belongs to the Irish team and is has been playing in the national team since they were 14. In fact, she comes from a cricketing family with her twin sister Isobel, brothers Ed, Dominick and Gus having played for the Irish team. Along with the rest of the family, she continues to steer Ireland's cricket to the power and glory they deserve.
Sara McGlashan
She is the wicketkeeper for New Zealand and is considered to be an immensely versatile player. She excels with the bat and also with the ball as the wicketkeeper. Her brother Peter McGlashan also played for New Zealand in two T20 and four ODI matches. So cricket apparently runs in their blood going by the brother-sister pair representing the nation.
Laura Marsh
This cute looking England spinner started playing cricket at the age of 11. She made her test debut against India in 2006 and played a crucial role in retaining the Ashes in 2008 and 2009 respectively. She continues to play for the team along side being a regular in county cricket.
