Australia v India Women’s ODI 2024

[cats_09]

Didn't see a thread for this series, and we're currently into the second match

Australia won the first match - bowled India out for 100 and made the run chase look harder then it should have been

Currently 1/146 in the second ODI batting first

The team's for today's match

Australia XI: Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath (c), Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

India XI: Smriti Mandhana, Priya Punia, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Minnu Mani, Priya Mishra, Saima Thakor, Renuka Singh Thakur

Georgia Voll looks like a nice replacement for Healy once she goes.

Bossing India around at 21 years of age in her 2nd game for Australia

 

[cats_09]

Thinking she'll remember to slide her bat in future

 

[Lebbo73]

India just did the worst DRS review in the history of cricket. It was already missing leg when Mooney was struck on the pads nearly 3m down the pitch.

 

[cats_09]

With 6 overs left, why bring in Sutherland ahead of Gardner, McGrath or ever Molineux? Even then, I'm not sure Gardner has been in the best form either

Surely at this stage it's about all putting the foot down and getting as many as possible - McGrath & Molineux were both in pretty good form with the bat across the WBBL

 

[NYRB]

Deepti Sharma didnt set the world on fire in the WBBL. She is batting at 6 for India, which seems a tad high and probably indicates Indias batting depth isnt as good.

And given India went from 89/5 to all out for 100, one senses this game might be over quickly once the Aussies snag one of these two.

 

[NYRB]

Harmanpreet is 35 years old now, it seems like the game has past her by. Her batting has fallen off and this in turn has affected her captaincy. One senses someone in the India hierarchy has to make that decision on her and blood the youth. The thing with Indian cricketers, is the players generally (male and female) tend to hang around longer than do the 'team thing'. Ill be interested in how she goes in the upcoming WPL season, as just want to reaffirm my thinking if the Indian youth have overtaken her.

It's amazing how often the commentators still talk up that 171 she scored against us & how she's always a treat due to that

The 171 was scored in 2017, and she really doesn't look too be the same threatening batsmen as she was then

 

[NYRB]

Minnu has shown something on her debut for India.

Game 3:

11:50am India have won the toss and opted to bowl



Australia: Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath (capt), Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

India: Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Minnu Mani, Saima Thakor, Arundhati Reddy, Titas Sadhu, Renuka Singh

 

[NYRB]

Not a big crowd in Perth at the WACA today, Im assuming the West Aussies are doing their Christmas shopping.

 

[cats_09]

Hopefully Voll has improved on her running & bat grounding technique from what we saw the other day

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield really should be going a bit harder in the last over of a powerplay. Just the 1 off it.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield clearly isn't an Adam Gilchrist I see. She waited for the Umpire to put the finger up, rather than deciding to walk. India reviewed and they were right.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield walked , after India decided to take their review.

 

[NYRB]

Perry is struggling a bit here with the extra bit of swing at the WACA today.

2 off 12 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Arundhati is bowling well knocking off the top 3: Perry, Litchfield and Voll.

Australia 72/3 with an out of sorts, Sutherland, Gardner to come.

 

[NYRB]

Arundhati now with the Aussie Top 4, the 4th scalp being Beth Mooney.

Australia 78/4 off 97 balls.

 

[cats_09]

Let's hope Gardner & Southerland can find some form with the bat

Not sure why McGrath is coming in behind them though as I'd trust her batting more at the moment than these two, and also think she's better equipped to bat through the innings

 

[NYRB]

Jemimah laughs after dropping a catch. These Indian girls are not serious about this bilateral series.

 

[cats_09]

Would love to know what the umpire was thinking with that out decision - live it looked pretty clearly to be going down leg, especially when you consider how many stumps you could see

Yep on 2nd review for me, it looked like is was drifting down leg.

 

[NYRB]

Arundhati with figures of 4/13 off 7.0 overs.

 

[cats_09]

Arundhati with figures of 4/13 off 7.0 overs.

Have to ask why she didn't play either of the first two matches
