Australian Women v South African Women Jan 27-Feb 18 2024, 3 T20s, 3 ODIS and 1 Test

[CURVE]

Garth is only bowling around 110-112kph but the late swing away and the occasional seamer into the right hander is making her almost impossible to defend, but it may also mean the ball is doing too much which is why she is not getting the wickets.

EDIT: Although she just got her second.

 

[two blue tiger]

This girl Luus is a close to a rabbit caught in the headlights as I've seen in a while. Every ball a hand grenade.

Well that was unexpected!

 

[010203]

That Sune Luus dismissal was coming. No footwork, hands in front if her body meant she was always heading to the doorway of departure.

 

[Gough]

Invers is going to be the Mostyn Evans of WA cricket renovations, downgraded from having grandstand named after him to a small tribute somewhere in a renovated oval.

 

[Around the Wicket]

This is a bloodbath.

 

[CURVE]

Our pace bowlers are running through the South African line up faster than a box laxettes, our spinners aren't going to get a bowl.

Its a good pitch for Gardner as well lol

This looks more like a practice match for Australia rather than a test match, South Africa look completely out of their depth.

This isn't a great advert for women's test matches but there aren't many teams that could compete with Australia in a test match here.

The old Inverarity stand wasn't great, it was outdated and didn't even face the ground properly so I'm not surprised they knocked it down.

Dennis Lillee summed up the WACA best when after one of it's renos he described it as turning a white elephant into a white elephant.

The phrase you're looking for is death trap. I worked behind the bar up there for a couple of years - genuinely surprised it didn't fall down all by itself.

 

[Jimthegreat]

The women's box, one of the more interesting conversations there....haha

 

[CURVE]

Finally, the (unofficial) number one bowler in women's tests gets a bowl.

 

[CURVE]

Terrible first couple of overs from Gardner, she has been very loose and dragging a number of balls down the legside.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Personally I find that embarrassing from us, keeping them out there that long. Totally unnecessary.

What? They have a cricket ball take some bloody wickets not our fault they were rolled for 76

 

[Santana]

I mean, we kind of had a hand in it

I suppose you like watching the wings being pulled off flies then.

 

[mcnulty]

Nothing embarrassing or unnecessary about it, we kept them out on the field during the hottest part of the day and just let them slowly roast.

It's done all the time in the men's game, it was brilliant captaincy from Healy.

For what purpose? The game was over at least 200 runs before.

Horrendous stuff. Just cruel.

It’s Cricket. It’s not life or death, it’s more important than that.

it's a sticky situation to be in when you're playing a poor team. you can bat forever and it looks mean and pointless, or you can declare before you've made as much runs as you possibly can and look conceited. there was a few grumbles when ricky ponting would declare before making 500. this match could be one of them?

nathan hauritz with a very nice 75 as nightwatchman. declared while snorks, haddin and johnson were still in the shed.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I love the way Langer makes up words. Latest effort ... "Adaption". JL, the word is adaptation Time to bring on the spinners!!

 

[NYRB]

Alana King with a tough chance, running back against the flight of the ball.

 

[jhong]

Feels like the batters are too comfortable with sameness of the pace bowlers .

 

[CakeEater]

Thats a clean catch.

Fingers under the ball, not that you can tell with the potato camera shooting this

 

[CURVE]

Looks like Pheobe got her fingers under the ball. Should be out.

 

[CURVE]

Great slips catch by Pheobe.
