What was Healy thinking bowling first, perfect day to sit in the sheds

What was Healy thinking bowling first, perfect day to sit in the sheds

I think most days are going to be near the 40c mark and perhaps a bit in the wicket early.

That LBW looked absolutely plumb, no idea how you couldn't give that

Must have thought it caught a bit of the bat, height didn't seem to look at problem live (not that it wasn't close in the end)

 

[icyflakes]

OH MY GOD SUTHERLAND what a ball, on a hattrick!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

These South African girls have very poor footwork. Good length balls see them anchored to the crease.

 

[icyflakes]

Tryon's got really weird bat movement. I can't quite explain it but it's like she starts the swing too late but the entire swing is just the follow through.

 

[icyflakes]

Geez that decision to bowl first is coming up MilHealhouse now. Saffas looking in big trouble

 

[Scorpus]

SA have been awful

 

[Jamurp]

Not many test matches in the women's game and this one is already over, not great.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

7 down before lunch. Wow.

lol

Make that 8 down

No Langer, that's not an umbrella field, it's a stacked slips cordon. Umbrella field incorporates a leg slip.

Even during the women's games you have to put up with Langer on 7? Bloody hell

Not sure what you expect

A lot of men's test matches lose money, I'd hate to think what it's like in the women's game. It is what it is

I'd imagine they all lose money unfortunately, still need to try and fixture them, problem is there's not really a long format pathway in domestic womens cricket anyway, or at least a decent one.

Perhaps limited overs cricket is the way to go.

 

[CURVE]

Damn it! I was hoping to get home and watch some entertaining cricket, but it looks like the entertainment is already over and the spinners haven’t had a bowl.

This may be a silly question - why isn't Kapp playing?

Surely she's been SA's best player this series, so thought we'd be seeing her today

She's basically been an injury test every game so assuming they didn't want to risk her for a potential 4 days straight.

injured

 

[jhong]

This match may be over tomorrow.

 

[icyflakes]

This match may be over tomorrow.

With the inconsistency of our batting it could happen for sure like Gabba 2 summers ago.

 

[icyflakes]

5fa from Brown to wrap up the innings

 

[troybe]

It’s a Michelle for Darcie Excellent bowling
