It seems that an unbeaten 150 in her previous game wasn’t enough for Lizelle Lee as she hit another century today, only to be stopped by one run in the 15th over… Otherwise, another 150 looked good. reach… pic.twitter.com/7CXw4UzW0d

After scoring a ridiculous unbeaten 253 from your previous 134 balls, this is an equally ridiculous way to go out.
Lizelle Lee escaped a stumping supported at the non-striker’s end on 103 for Hobart. His 150no vs Scorchers comes after. #WBBL10

Any chance @CricketAus Can Lizelle naturalise Lee next week and force her to open the batting against India? He sees them as beach balls. @WBBL #WBBL10

Lizelle Lee faced the threat of a 3-drop or miss from poor Mushangwe. You don’t want to drop any batter, but Lee will definitely be near the top of the batters you REALLY don’t want to drop. #WBBL10
