Super Fours
The Super Fours was a women's limited overs cricket competition which was played annually in England between 2002 and 2013, with a break in 2009 and 2010. Designed to bring together the leading 48 players in English women's cricket, it originally composed solely of a 50-over tournament, but in 2004 a Twenty20 competition was added. The tournament, which was created to bridge the gap in quality between the Women's County Championship and international cricket, first featured overseas players in 2008, when Australians Alex Blackwell and Leah Poulton were invited to take part. The competition was not held in 2009 or 2010 due to a busy international schedule caused primarily by the ICC World Twenty20. The two competitions consisted of four teams, originally named the Braves, the Knight Riders, the Super Strikers and the V Team, but renamed to the Rubies, Diamonds, Emeralds and Sapphires, respectively, in 2006. The Sapphires (previously the V Team) were the most successful team, winn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
