July 24 (CRICKETNMORE) - Ian Shrubsole took six wickets in the final for England and helped her team to lift the Women's World Cup 2017 trophy. Two days before the ICC Women’s World Cup final, Ian Shrubsole, the father of England fast bowler Anya, shared a photo of her at Lord’s on social media. It was a picture from 16 years ago, when Anya was 10, captioned with a dream of one day playing at the famous old ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the space of one day, 9.4 overs and six wickets, the dream very quickly turned into a fairytale reality for Shrubsole, now an ICC Women’s World Cup winner and player of the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“Dad’s Twitter profile has gone through the roof! If someone had said to me that all this time later I’d be at Lord’s, winning a World Cup final, I would have laughed them away – you never think that sort of thing happens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“You always dream that you might play, nothing more than that. You don’t get caught up in the individual performances, all that matters is that the team wins, that’s what you think about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“But it has, it’s a dream, and makes that photo all the more special".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
