As her career took off and her profile grew and grew she was grateful to have you by her side. The pair of you had been together a few years now and in the madness of playing for England, and now playing in the IPL, she was glad to have someone she could relax and unwind with, someone who loved her for more than her fast right arm. To you, her cricket career was the least interesting thing about her.

After a particularly intense match she freshened up and met you outside the stadium, still in her team tracksuit top and gym shorts, she kissed your cheek.

“Did you enjoy the match?”

She asked, smiling sweetly at you, gently nudging your side in the hopes for a compliment on the 4 wickets she had taken.
