Scoop Podcast: Beams explains why Lanning is the chase queen
Former Australia spinner Kristen Beams has spent a lot of time with captain Meg Lanning on and off the cricket field, and this week joins Scoop Podcasts hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin to share her insights into what it is about Meg's approach to cricket that constantly sees her rewriting her own records, particularly when it comes to run chases.
