Alyssa Healy has a freaky Friday moment
The Coronavirus pandemic has hit sports hard across the world, forcing players to play to empty stadiums - or, as Alyssa Healy calls it, just another day in women's cricket. Except this time around it's the women with the record breaking attendance the men who're getting a feel of what the women's games are like, and she's really seeing the mirth in it.
It's been a week of us feeling what it's like in the men's shoes and them in ours!! Haha.
