By Niall AndersonThe White Ferns' 18 year quest to win the Rose Bowl has been put on hold. Kerr, who hadn't been born when the White Ferns last held the Rose Bowl, took 4-54 in just her sixth ODI, but the 16-year-old's highly promising display couldn't steer the White Ferns over the line. The White Ferns attacking impetus worked however, with 80 runs coming off the last 10 overs, and 46 from the last five to post a competitive 253-8. 29 runs later, Mooney fell to the same fate, and Kerr had given the White Ferns a chance to end their drought. One of those was Anna Peterson's scalp of Blackwell, and with star all-rounder Ellyse Perry unable to bat due to injury, the White Ferns were into the tail.
