After a summer that tookwomens cricketto new heights, Danni Wyatt is enjoying a well-deserved break.
Crickets a funny game, she says.
I think a lot of it is about luck and I had a lot of luck in that over.
Winning The Hundredfor the first time with the Southern Brave also stands out for Wyatt.
I still just cant believe Im making a living out of hitting a ball.
It still feels a bit surreal.
Besides heading down under for the AustralianWomens Big Bash League, Wyatt isgetting marriedsoon.
My karaoke song is Angels, Wyatt says, grinning.
It would be dreamy if he came to the wedding and me and him were onstage singing it.
Whats your favorite way to switch off?
Ive got aFantasy Premier Leagueteam so Im obsessed with that.
I also love playing cards with the girls, like blackjack or poker.
How do you keep yourself motivated after a bad training session?
Ive had a lot of bad training sessions over the years.
I bat better in matches than I do in the nets.
I just find it very claustrophobic, and the bowlers are always so much better in the nets.
I always tell myself to just get what I can out of each training session.
How do you prepare before a match?
I like to have a little bit of a training session the day before.
Whats your favorite workout?
I love just putting on some shorts and a T-shirt and running 2K.
But I really enjoy it.
Whats the most out-there wellness trend youve tried?
I sleep with anOura Ringon because I love seeing how Ive slept.
Before a match, if Im feeling a bit nervous, Ill just press play on thebreathing exercises.
Who do you go to for non-cricket advice?
Oh gosh, no one really.
Im from Stoke-on-Trent, so Ive been brought up to be tough and ready to get on with it.
Whats your bedtime routine?Does it differ the night before a match?
I dont really have a bedtime routine.
I like to watch a series and wind down.
And then Ill probably be naughty and scroll on TikTok, then on Instagram for about 20 minutes.
Im like, What are you doing, Dan?
But when Im properly good and focused, I like to switch off and read a book.
