England battled to 228-7 but India looked destined for glory at 191-3, needing 38 from 44 balls. Up stepped Shrubsole. The seamer took 5-11 in 19 deliveries to finish with 6-46 as India were bowled out for 219. Even when Gunn appeared to have dropped a crucial chance, Shrubsole wrapped up the win next ball to seal jubilant scenes.<\/p>\n
Knight: “The original plan was to get a couple of overs out of Anya and then go to Katherine to be honest. <\/p>\n
“Anya just had this look in her eye where I didn’t need to say anything. <\/p>\n
“It was like no nonsense, ‘don’t say anything to me, don’t distract me, let me get on with my job. I will bowl straight with the odd slower ball.’<\/p>\n
“I didn’t do anything at all. Anya ran the show. She was very calm even when Jenny dropped the World Cup.”<\/p>\n
Shrubsole: “When I came back on for that spell they hit a wide ball over point for four and a full ball for four. <\/p>\n
“From that point on I went as simple as possible. <\/p>\n
“Veda [Krishnamurthy] was trying to be attacking and I thought I was going to try and bowl slower balls to the batters that are in and if we get new batters in bowl full and straight and make the batters make a mistake. <\/p>\n
“It was as simple as that.<\/p>\n
“Poonam Yadav missed a straight one which always helps. <\/p>\n
“Hartley got a wicket in the next over and then we got two wickets in the next, Veda, which was a massive wicket, and Jhulan [Goswami] with a ball which was not what I was trying to bowl.”<\/p>\n
Beaumont: “I love that the girl who gets 6-46 in a World Cup final didn’t mean any of it. It is just so Anya…”<\/p>\n
Shrubsole: “I meant some of it…<\/p>\n
“We had got through those games that were really tight whereas India had won really comfortably or lost badly. They didn’t have those close games. <\/p>\n
“It felt like we were more battle hardened than they were.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England battled to 228-7 but India looked destined for glory at 191-3, needing 38 from 44 balls.
