  • Episode 5 - Taking on Tradition: Cricket is in the doldrums and it takes some energy, innovation and on-field success for the game to keep its momentum. Some inspiration and grand piece of timing helps ensure that women finally enter the male haven at Lords, while a friendly chat over a game of golf ushers in a period of growth in Australian women's cricket, courtesy of the game's first major sponsor.

    ABOUT THE MAIDEN SUMMER:
    Australian women's cricket has been a feature of our summers for almost 150 years. And today's World Champion Australian team stands proudly on the shoulders of the bold and daring women who have gone before them. Featuring the voices of some of the women who were there and archival audio from the formative periods in Australian and International women's' cricket history, this podcast tells the story of women's fight to play Australia's national sporting pastime.
