'I cannot scream at my fiancee' - Katherine Brunt opens up on Nat Sciver's dropped catch in Women's Ashes

Rachael Haynes was dropped by Nat Sciver off the bowling of Katherine Brunt in the Women’s Ashes encounter that took place between Australia Women and the England Women.

And, Brunt opened up on the dropped catch. Brunt said that Sciver is her fiancée and she cannot scream at her because she dropped the catch.

Brunt also added that these sorts of things happen on the field, and it only makes people feel worse as the cricketers work hard to create opportunities for their teams.

“No. I cannot scream at my fiancee. It only makes such people worse, and things happen, stuff happen you don’t expect it, you work really hard to get one opportunity,” said Katherine Brunt in a video posted by ESPNCricinfo.

No one means to drop a catch: Katherine Brunt

Katherine Brunt also added that no player will ever mean to drop a catch for their side. Brunt also said that even though she is extremely passionate about her game, she cannot let that dropped catch affect her.

“It is hard when she put it down, no one means to do that. So I have to remember that even though I am very fiery and passionate, stuff like that happens and you cannot let it destroy you,” concluded Katherine Brunt.

The Australian Women’s scorecard currently reads 12/2 in the second innings, and the kangaroos lead the England Women by 52 runs. The England Women were bowled out for a total of 297 in their first innings. Skipper Heather Knight produced a superb performance with the bat, and plundered a classy 168* for her side. Sophie Ecclestone also contributed a valuable 34 lower down the order as well.

Ellyse Perry was the pick of the bowlers for Australia with the ball and scalped a three-wicket haul. Apart from Perry, Annabel Sutherland also picked up a couple of wickets to peg back the opposition.
