What people are saying
She has had a pretty rough 12 months in the fact that she has been in and out of the side but you give the new ball to Schutter, you know she is going to do the job - either hold down an end or take poles, and she had an unbelievable series
It was awesome to see her back in an Aussie shirt and awesome to see her dominate.
We got a lot of experience,
We were playing against Australia in Australia for the first time but we learned a lot of things which will be good for us in the next series in New Zealand.
