Scoop Podcast: Tahlia McGrath and Darcie Brown double-act

Darcie Brown and Tahlia McGrath are the best of mates and are inseparable while on tour with the Aussie team, the Strikers or the Scorpions.

Darcie and Tahlia joined the Scoop Podcast together from Brisbane ahead of the ODI series against the West Indies to talk about when they first met, what it's like travelling the world with your best mates and how they've witnessed each other's development over the years in the Australian team.

Before that, LJ and Em recap a very entertaining T20I series that saw Hayley Matthews score a record-breaking 310 runs across the three matches, but Alyssa Healy lifting the trophy at the end.
