Cricket players, personalities and fans have taken to social media to pay tribute to retiring Thunder legends Alex Blackwell and Rene Farrell
Say it isn’t so!! I can’t put into words how grateful I am for the contribution @AlexBlackwell2 has made. I wouldn’t have fallen in love with women’s cricket the way I did without her. ❤️ https://t.co/Ab0GcapvdI

18 years is a massive achievement by one player to remain at the top. To see the changes that you have as a player and find ways to keep adapting. Enjoy your last match Alex @AlexBlackwell2 & well done on a tremendous career https://t.co/0iBMP0XsRR

What an incredible player and even better person. @AlexBlackwell2, I’m confident the legacy you created on the field will live on for many years post stepping off it. I’ve loved being a teammate and opponent for a number of those years. Enjoy no more warm ups ?? #legend https://t.co/BB3VOfzZGi
