Commonwealth Games Cricket 2022

[NYRB]

Pakistan bowled out for 99 against India

 

[NYRB]

India are the real deal guys.

 

[NYRB]

Aussies won toss and opted to bowl first

 

[NYRB]

Barbados Women (Playing XI): Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews(c), Kycia Knight(w), Kyshona Knight, Aaliyah Alleyne, Trishan Holder, Alisa Scantlebury, Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell, Keila Elliott, Shanika Bruce



Barbados XI v Australia

 

[NYRB]

King has a a hattrick chance dropped at 1st slip

 

[NYRB]

Leg Manning with a dropped chance. pretty easy opportunity as well

 

[NYRB]

LOL Ball hit the stumps but bails didnt fall over

 

[NYRB]

Think its pretty clear from last nights game and the 50 over world cup this year

The pecking order is
Australia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> England/India/South Africa/NZ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sri Lanka/Pakistan/Barbados

Australia looked pretty switched on in Game 2 and had that batted first, i reckon they could have got 190+

 

[NYRB]

I also dont understand the logic of these weak nations like Pakistan/Sri Lanka deciding to bat 1st and getting bundled out for scores of sub 100.

Their best chance of a win is surely to bowl first.

 

[Gough]

Bit light on the batting and no keeper but those bowlers.

 

[NYRB]

Two games today

Day match: England v South Africa

Night match: NZ V Sri Lanka


Both favourites should win but SA were competitive enough against NZ in the first game to make it at least competitive against England.

Sri Lanka look a bit out of their depth against NZ here. I think SL might even struggle to make around 110, if asked to bat first.

 

[corbies]

Bit light on the batting and no keeper but those bowlers.

When the Windies were absolutely decimating sides for the best part of a decade do you remember any chat that they should be playing as separate nations?

 

[NYRB]

South Africa Women (Playing XI): Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Mignon du Preez, Laura Wolvaardt, Chloe Tryon, Sune Luus(c), Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta(w), Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba

England Women (Playing XI): Danielle Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Natalie Sciver(c), Amy Jones(w), Maia Bouchier, Sophie Ecclestone, Katherine Brunt, Freya Kemp, Issy Wong, Sarah Glenn

South Africa Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

They are using the hybrid pitch.

 

[NYRB]

thats a beautiful shot by Wyatt. Nice lofted drive

 

[NYRB]

The pitch looks a bit two paced early on here.

 

[NYRB]

Wyatt with a couple of nice shots inside the powerplay here.

 

[NYRB]

And again she goes

 

[NYRB]

risky run there. Direct hit and Wyatt was goner

 

[NYRB]

Its Ismail again!
Thats her 2nd wicket, and its inside the powerplay

 

[NYRB]

if you take out Ismail and Khaka out of this lineup, England surely can target the others.

 

[NYRB]

de Klerk having a mare 34/0 after 2.0 overs

 

[NYRB]

Capsey youngest English player to score a 50 in this format of the game

 

[NYRB]

South Africa pegging it back here 93/4 (12.5 overs)

 

[NYRB]

next ball wicket

England 94/5 (13.0 )

England capitulating here.
