That’s all for our coverage of this one-off Test match. Disappointing as the result is for Australia, it’s surely good for the future of women’s cricket. If India learns to love women’s Test cricket, it has a much bigger chance of taking off.
Thanks to Jim and Tanya for all their hard work over the last four days, and to you for reading. Merry festivities!
