Australian Women v West Indies Women (3 T20s and 3 ODIs) Oct 2023

[NYRB]

1st T20I at North Sydney Oval going on right now.

Fixtures for the summer:

 

[NYRB]

Matthews is 69 off 47 balls and has played well so far.

 

[candyapple]

Nice throw

 

[NYRB]

Schutt has been economical 0/1 off 13 balls.

 

[NYRB]

And Phoebe Litchfield runs out Taylor. Direct hit

 

[NYRB]

There was never a single there. Taylor seemed slow off the block

West Indies are 89/2 off 74 balls against Australia in Game 1 at the Postage Stamp North Sydney Oval.

 

[NYRB]

A no-ball run out, you dont see that very often.

 

[NYRB]

Schutt with 0/4 of 3 overs. Her bowling put pressure on the West Indies running between the wickets there.


You would be tempted to bowl Schutt out straight out right now.

 

[NYRB]

Hayley Matthews dances down the wicket to Chiefs brother for 4 . Lovely use of the feet.

 

[NYRB]

2nd highest ever score for Matthews in a T20I


Currently 75* off 55 balls.

 

[NYRB]

A little bit of innovation, and Campbelle gets her first boundary role of the day.

 

[NYRB]

Australia never lost a T20I at North Sydney Oval. They will want to protect that record today and tomorrow.

 

[NYRB]

With 6 overs left and 8 wickets in the shed, West Indies have a free licence to go : bang, bang , bang

 

[NYRB]

It looks like a nice little crowd building up at North Sydney Oval on a Sunday before the big NRL Grand Final down the road today.

 

[NYRB]

I reckon of all the players playing today, Hayley Matthews is the strongest player of all players playing.

 

[NYRB]

For Australia right now, on the back end of these last 5 overs, dot balls will be like gold and Australia will want to be bowling more to Campbelle than Hayley Matthews.

 

[NYRB]

Might not be a bad thing for West Indies if Campbelle got out right now.

 

[NYRB]

Or another case it might not be bad if Matthews refuses the single.

 

[NYRB]

Hayley Matthews with now the highest score in a T20I by a West Indian woman against Australia.

Currently 87* off 62 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Thats a nice way to end the over from the West Indies from Cambpelle for 6 off McGrath.

 

[NYRB]

a target of 160 might test the Aussies out here today.

 

[candyapple]

Stranded on 99

ouch

 

[NYRB]

Hayley Matthews wont get her 100 because she is on the non-striker end.

 

[NYRB]

Hayley Matthews probably earnt the right to refuse the single in the last over.

 

[NYRB]

Bit of a shame for Matthews as she has played very well today.
