The article discusses Ashleigh Young, an Australian cricketer who has expressed her frustration with the lack of support for women's cricket in Australia. She feels that the sport is not being given enough attention and resources to grow and develop. Young also criticizes the Australian Cricket Board for its handling of the game, stating that it is more focused on promoting men's cricket.

In contrast, the Saudi Arabian Women's Premier League (SWPL) is mentioned as a positive example of how women's football can be supported in the Middle East. The league has attracted several top players from around the world, including Ellen White, Jen Beattie, and Ben Haines, and has gained popularity through social media and streaming platforms.

The article highlights the disparity between the two leagues, with the SWPL receiving more attention and investment than women's cricket in Australia. It also notes that the SWPL has been successful in attracting top players from around the world, while Australian women's cricket is struggling to retain its best players due to a lack of support and resources.

Overall, the article presents a mixed picture of women's football in different parts of the world, with both successes and challenges. It highlights the importance of supporting and investing in women's sports, particularly in regions where they are less well-established.
 
🤔 It's like, Aussie cricket is all about the benjamins, innit? Meanwhile, over in Saudi Arabia, they're investing big time in their women's league and it's getting some serious love. Ellen White, Jen Beattie... these girls are on another level. We should be supporting Aussie ladies more, don't you think? 🌟
 
🏆 Women's sports need love too, it's time for equality 🤝. The more attention we give to SWPL, the more Australia should focus on its own women's cricket team... maybe then they can catch up with other countries 💪!
 
I feel so bad for Ashleigh Young 🤕, her passion for cricket is really being let down. I mean, can't we support our own athletes instead of just giving money to leagues abroad? The SWPL might be getting all the attention now but what about our own league? We're the ones who need a boost! I wish they'd sort out the resources and stuff so Aussie women's cricket could shine too 🌟
 
I feel like Aussie cricket is gettin' left behind 😒... Ashleigh Young's comments about lack of support ring true for me. I mean, who doesn't love a good game of cricket? But it seems like the boys' league gets all the attention and resources. 🤔 On the other hand, that Saudi Arabian Women's Premier League is doin' some things right! 🎉 They're attractin' top players from around the world and gettin' some serious buzz on social media. It's a shame we can't replicate that in Australia. 🙄 Maybe they just need a bit more TLC... or investment? 🤑 Either way, it's time for Aussie cricket to step up its game! 👍
 
🤔 I think it's super unfair that Ashleigh Young is getting so much backlash for speaking up about the lack of support for women's cricket in Australia. I mean, someone's gotta bring attention to this issue, right? 🙅‍♀️ The Saudi Arabian Women's Premier League might be doing a great job, but we can't just ignore the struggles that Aussie ladies are facing. It's not like they're asking for the moon or anything! 💁‍♀️ And can we talk about how cool it is that Ellen White and Jen Beattie are playing in SWPL? 🤩 We need more women's sports like that in Australia, stat! ⏰
 
I feel so bad for Ashleigh Young 😔. Like, Australia has some of the most talented female cricketers out there, but still, it's like the sport is getting no love 🤷‍♀️. I mean, have you seen the SWPL? It's like a whole different level of professionalism 💁‍♀️. And the fact that they're getting all these top players from around the world is just mind-blowing 😲. Meanwhile, Aussie women's cricket is struggling to keep its best players because of lack of support 🤦‍♀️. It's just not fair 🙅‍♀️. I wish our own board would step up their game and give female cricketers the same level of attention and resources as the guys 💪.
 
🤔 I totally get why Ashleigh Young is frustrated, you know? It feels like Aussie cricket is just going through the motions when it comes to supporting our girls' game. Meanwhile, these Saudi lasses are killing it over there! 🏟️ I mean, who wouldn't want to play for a league that's actually invested in their success? 🤑 The fact that they're attracting top players from all over the world is just mind-blowing. We need to do better here, you know? We can't just sit back and watch our girls get lost in the sport we love. It's time for some serious investment and attention. 💸
 
I'm so frustrated for Ashleigh Young 🤦‍♀️, she deserves way more support for her sport. I mean, can't we see that women's cricket is just as exciting and competitive as men's? It's like, the Australian Cricket Board is all about promoting that boys' game while ignoring the ladies 👀. But you know what really gets me? The SWPL in Saudi Arabia is killing it 💥! They're not only giving those talented players a platform to shine but also breaking barriers in a region where women's sports are still kinda a novelty 🌟. It shows us that with the right investment and attention, women's cricket can thrive too 🙏... we just need someone to give it a shout-out 📢
 
The glass ceiling is still very much intact 🤦‍♀️💔. The lack of support for women's cricket in Australia is a major concern, and it's high time we start treating this sport with the same level of respect as its male counterpart 💪. I mean, if the SWPL can attract top players from around the world without breaking a sweat, what's holding Australian women back? 🤔 It's not just about money, it's about equality and fairness ⚖️. We need to start seeing more investment and attention in women's cricket before we can even think about calling ourselves a competitive nation on the pitch 🏆. Anything less is just not good enough 😐.
 
I'M SO FRUSTRATED WHEN I HEAR ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING IN THE SPORTS WORLD!!! IT'S LIKE, WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING WOMEN'S CRICKET AND FOOTBALL ALREADY!!! ASHLEIGH YOUNG IS TOTALLY RIGHT THAT THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET BOARD NEEDS TO STEP UP ITS GAME AND GIVE WOMEN'S CRICKET THE RESOURCES AND ATTENTION IT DESERVES!!! IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE JUST SOME KIND OF FOOTNOTE, YOU KNOW? 😡 IN COMPARISON, THE SWPL IS DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT! THEY'RE GETTING TOP PLAYERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE!!! WE NEED MORE LEAGUES LIKE THAT IN AUSTRALIA, PLEASE!!! 💖
 
Ugh, I'm so over all these leagues trying to one-up each other when what we really need is more support for women's cricket in Australia 🙄! Ashleigh Young's frustration is totally valid, and it's not like she's asking for much – just some decent resources and attention to grow the game. Meanwhile, the SWPL is getting all this fanfare because they're over in Saudi Arabia with their fancy sponsorship deals 💸...can't we do better than that? 🤷‍♀️ We need to start investing in our own ladies, not just bringing in foreign talent to prop up a struggling league 😐. I mean, what's the point of having all these top players if you're not giving them the platform they deserve? 🏆
 
"I think it's time for us to stop waiting for others to create change, we must be willing to take a stand and make our own way, especially when it comes to empowering women in sports." 🏆💪
 
I'm so tired of seeing Aussie cricket get treated like an afterthought. I mean, Ashleigh Young is right to be frustrated - we need more support for our girls' teams if we wanna start calling them a force to be reckoned with 🤔. And can't we get the board to focus on both men's and women's cricket for once? It feels like they're just throwing all their energy into promoting the guys' game, leaving the ladies in the shadows 🌑.

But you know what really gets me is seeing those top players from around the world flocking to the SWPL - it's like, we're not even on their radar! 💥 Ellen White and Jen Beattie are basically heroes over there, and we're just over here trying to make ends meet 🤑. It's time for a change, mate - let's give our women's cricket some love and support! 🌟
 
omg i just watched this video of Ellen White playin for the SWPL and she was AMAZING 😍🏀 i feel so bad for Ashleigh Young tho, it sounds like womens cricket in Australia is really strugglin 🤕 do u think the Aussie Cricket Board should be more supportive? i mean, they gotta support their own players or they'll never get good 🙄 anyway, its kinda sad that womens sports dont get as much attention as mens sports... i wish i could see more of Ellen White's matches 📺
 
I'm watching this story unfold 🤔, it's crazy to see the contrast between Ashleigh Young's frustration with Aussie cricket and the Saudi Women's Premier League getting all that love 💪🏽. I think it's great that Ellen White and Jen Beattie are part of the league, but at the same time, it feels like women's cricket in Australia is being left behind 🚨. The lack of support and resources is a real issue, and it's not just about the Australian Cricket Board – there needs to be a bigger conversation about how we can invest in women's sports and help them grow 📈. I'm hoping that Ashleigh Young's voice will get heard and some changes will happen, but for now, it's all about spreading awareness and getting more people on board 💬.
 
🤔‍♀️ I think it's super unfair that Ashleigh Young is having to fight for support when the SWPL is getting all this attention 🤑. Like, what's wrong with Australia investing more in women's cricket? 🤷‍♂️ We need more of those Ellen Whites and Jen Beatties coming over here! 😊

Imagine a diagram of two graphs, one showing the growth of SWPL's popularity and investment, while the other shows the decline of Australian women's cricket 📈. It's like they're at opposite ends of the spectrum! 🌐 What's holding back Australian cricket? Is it lack of funding or something else? We need to figure this out ASAP 🕒️

[ASCII art: a graph with an increasing trend on one side and a decreasing trend on the other]

Anyway, I think we need more stories like Ashleigh Young's to raise awareness about this issue 😊. Let's get the ball rolling (pun intended) and make some change happen! ⚽️
 
I think it's really disappointing to see that Aussie cricket isn't getting the same level of support as other countries like Saudi Arabia 🤕. Ashleigh Young is totally right to call out the board for not prioritizing women's cricket - it's time we give these talented athletes the resources they deserve 💪. Meanwhile, I'm loving how the SWPL is killing the game in SA! It's amazing to see Ellen White and the gang getting involved 🙌. We need more stories like this one to shine a light on the challenges faced by women's sports worldwide 🌟.
 
I think its kinda wild that Aussie cricket is still not gettin the support it needs 🤔. I mean, Ashleigh Young makes some valid points - if you're gonna promote a sport, make sure you're investin in the women's side too, ya know? It's all about equality and fairness.

And its cool to see the SWPL gettin that attention and investment 💸. Its awesome that they can attract top players from around the world and still manage to grow their game. Maybe Aussie cricket should take a page outta their book?

But at the same time, I feel for Ashleigh Young - it can't be easy bein frustrated with the system when you know what needs doin 🤷‍♀️. Still, I hope more people start talkin about this stuff and we can get some real change goin on in women's sports!
