Baggy Green Queens: Farrell's game-changing hat-trick

Rene Farrell, one of the most passionate people in Australian cricket, is the fourth guest to join hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin on Baggy Green Queens, a series by The Scoop, supported by the Commonwealth Bank. 

 

Farrell joined the show earlier in the year to chat about her game-changing hat-trick in the 2011 Ashes Test that helped wrestle back the trophy from England after five years.

 

With England only needing a draw to retain the Ashes, captain at the time Alex Blackwell boldly declared 48 runs behind in an effort to force a result, and swing bowler Farrell delivered with an incredible five-ball burst that completely turned the Test on its head.

 

It was an electrifying spell from the proud New South Wales girl on her home turf of Bankstown to help win the Ashes and Farrell chats about the iconic celebrations on the field, as well as a few of the special moments with the team after an unlikely victory.
