Much reminiscent of Georgia Voll’s consoling moment with Sophie Ecclestone, former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was seen comforting Australia’s Brett Lee more than two decades ago in England.
The incident occurred after the Australian cricket team suffered a heart-breaking two-run defeat in the second Test of the historic 2005 Ashes series. Flintoff walked up to a dejected Brett Lee and gave the latter a sporting pat on the back apart from offering some words of sportsmanship.

Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt at number three punched out an elegant 58* off 53 balls with five cracking boundaries. Freya Kemp blasted 44* from just 28 balls to turbo charge the English innings at the death as the hosts reached a competitive 150-4 in 20 overs.
For Australia, captain Molineux and Kim Garth also picked up a wicket each in the innings.
Chasing 151 for a win, Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield shared a 100-run partnership for the second wicket. Mooney bludgeoned 64 runs off just 49 balls, before all-rounders Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner notched up the winning runs together in 17.1 overs.
Mooney won the ‘Player of the Match’ award in the final, and also bagged the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award.
