Tayla’s on track for big things

AUSTRALIAN pace sensation Tayla Vlaeminck sent an ominous warning to India with two searing deliveries seemingly clocked at 145km/h during the washed-out T20 match.

Playing her first game in the mutli-format series, the 22year-old tearaway was surprised with the Mitchell Starclike number on the speed gun.

The mark would have been a new world record for women but it soon became clear the speed gun reading was wrong and should have registered around the 123km/h mark.

But Vlaeminck is hopeful the four overs she got through is the catalyst for better ahead of Saturday’s second T20 when Australia can seal the series.

“I’ll take that, no error in that whatsoever,” she joked.

“If I had looked up I would’ve had a little smile but I think the broadcast pumped that up a little bit.”

Vlaeminck was making her first international appearance since April and did well to overcome a wayward opening delivery when she overstepped the mark by some distance.
