This tournament has reinforced I guess how dominate their batting stocks are. I think the Indian commentators eg Harsha, even acknowledge how much more powerful, aggressive the Aussie batters are in this form. I think he brought up the topic how much I guess things like the weather, and Australia being very much an outdoorsy kind of country, as being of help (in a good way)God Australians are dominant 6/10 top run scorers which is great
It will be interesting to see what the Giants think of Gardner's tournament, 204 runs and 10 wickets isn't a bad return. They will definitely be disappointed with her start to the tournament, she did get 2 golden ducks early, but she finished strongly with two excellent 50's. Her bowling was a little disappointing, finishing with an economy rate of 9.21 with the ball, which is about 3 runs an over more than her most recent WBBL season.From what I have seen of this tournament, if you were look at batting, and how effective the Aussie batters have been , Id rank it:
1. Harris
2. Mc Grath
3. Lanning
4. Perry
5. Gardner
Healy I think had the 1 good game but thats about it. I feel like she is the type of player that would do well, chasing small targets or when there is less pressure more often than not. Another reason why I think Healy has struggled here is the quality of bowlers in this tournament are generally better bowlers than what you would get against international sides ( eg Pakistan, West Indies, Bangladesh and I probably put NZ in that category as well)
When call came to crunch in those earlier games, as an import player you need your batting players to stand up when it mattered. Unfortunately, she had a rusty start. Maybe you can put that batting rustiness due to her sort of batting lower in the Australian set up, i think she would often come in at around 5-7. For Gujarat im pretty sure she was batting alot earlier, and UP Warriorz tended to get not so great starts from their openers, so she would often have to build innings. In the Aussie setu up, she had a free licence to come in and go from ball one and power hit for quick runs.It will be interesting to see what the Giants think of Gardner's tournament, 204 runs and 10 wickets isn't a bad return.
