Thats a mega choke from India to lose from there

 

[cats_09]

Thought that was a really mauture innings from Gardner, and I know she’ll get a lot of the credit for that win, but Harris deserves a lot of credit for helping get us into the position - her 37 off 20 was what started to turn the tide, especially after coming to the crease with the team at 5/49 after just 7.2 overs

I did get a laugh at a few comments on Twitter following the team announcement with Harris in and Pez missing - more than a few not happy Pez wasn’t named, and others wanting to know what Harris had done to get selected…hopefully those folks watched the match and saw the role that Harris can play

 

[CURVE]

Wouldn't call it a choke, Australia have an amazingly deep batting line up, Gardner (who owns the highest score in the WBBL) is batting at 6 and Harris (opener for two time WBBL champions Brisbane Heat) is at 7. The girls will feel that no chase is impossible no matter how poorly they start, and that will now be reinforced 10 fold by todays win.

Perry is massively overrated in T20's now. Just doesn't score fast enough (striking in the low 90's the last 2 WBBL's), and if she isn't bowling then she shouldn't be in the side.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure about Harris, and happy to hear of her performance today, but I was happy to see that Perry wasn't named.

Gardner looked like she had that chase under control , Michael Bevan, Michael Hussey like.

With her there, they never really did look threatened to be fair.

 

[CURVE]

I do like the PJ's the girls are wearing, it's a nice shade of yellow.

Next up is Barbados v Pakistan

Do the Barbados ladies have a chance? Id give the West Indies a decent chance to beat them, not sure about Barbados as a team

If they are anything like their netball team I won't be backing them...

I know Dottin but not really sure if they got anyone else

Pakistan were a pretty woeful side in the 50 over world cup this year.

[NYRB]

And in the first upset of the cricket Games, Barbados beats Pakistan.

 

[NYRB]

One also would imagine that India and Australia should progress from their pool.

why isnt Kapp at this tournament for South Africa?

 

[NYRB]

Suzie Bates with a well compiled 91 off 64

NZ make 167/2

 

[Teen Wolf]

Interesting

The uncharacteristic missed chances (one stumping and like 4 catches) by Australia did make for an interesting match. India wouldn't have got close otherwise.

Question is does Healy get the ICC "Spirit of Cricket" award for immediately waving that off, in addition to now being the greatest T20I wicket-keeper ever?

why isnt Kapp at this tournament for South Africa?

Went home due to a death serious accident in the family.

 

[NYRB]

I personally dont think NZ were that impressive with the bat today.

 

[NYRB]

Chloe Tyron can bash the ball a bit

 

[NYRB]

SA need 55 off the last 5 overs

with wickets in hand

Chloe Tyron the key here

 

[NYRB]

GSM Surely

Tyron run out

 

[NYRB]

NZ beat SA by 13 runs, but that wasn't that an impressive win.

A bit like Australia, bit rusty and will prob improve latter in the tournament.
