Australia's rampant T20 World Cup team are playing down concerns over the fitness of Beth Mooney while celebrating the versatility of the great wicketkeeper-batter's emergency stand-in Georgia Voll.
The only cloud over the third-straight dominant win for Sophie Molineux's side at Southampton on Saturday, a 98-run trouncing of the Netherlands, was the setback for all-time top scorer Mooney, who retired with a stiff back while in full flow on 74no and then decided not to keep during the Dutch reply.
The 32-year-old veteran opener/keeper said afterwards there was no concern. "I'm all good, just precautionary," shrugged the left-hander. "Probably just not used to all the bus travel we've been doing."
But with her understudy keeper Phoebe Litchfield also out of action with a quad injury, the setback for Mooney highlighted a potential weakness for the tournament favourites with 22-year-old Voll, who's had no experience of keeping in the senior game, being forced to take the gloves.
