Episode 10: The Scorpions strike with Jemma Barsby

This week we are joined by South Australian Scorpions captain Jemma Barsby (Interview begins at 6:04). We sit down with Jemma to talk about what it’s like to be suddenly called up for a captaincy role, and her plans for tackling the WNCL season. Jemma was a new addition to the Strikers in WBBL07, so she speaks about her move from Queensland and the Scorchers to the Southern State. We also talk to her about her cricket career, and she takes us back to the very beginning of how she began bowling with both arms. Jemma tells us what it’s like to play professional sport after being diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), and how that has impacted her cricket career so far, although it’s definitely not stopping her! Next week we are joined by Sarah Coyte, long time Strikers fast bowler, so don’t miss that!
