Sthalekar making a play for the men's team with that turn.

I'll say. Sri Lanka will be licking their lips

Doherty will be asking for tips. "What is this 'turn' you speak of?"

 

[Cousin Jed]

Nothing like following up a great catch by dropping a sitter 3 balls later

Geez, you'd want to hope that the mens team have an OK Summer or your cynicism may kill you before Boxing Day.

On an unrelated note, totally just linked your avatar to your user name, slow at times is me

 

[Cousin Jed]

Hasn't killed me yet

Brilliant captaincy.

 

[Torz]

Is it just me or are these bats(wo)men not making enough of an effort to run 2's here?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Head high full toss in the last over. Oh dear

Followed by a dropped sitter. Oh dear

 

[Torz]

Another fully - dropped at cover. Not a passage of play for the history books.

 

[Cousin Jed]

I think our cover fielder was born in South Africa...

 

[OzBomber]

Dropping a catch is bad. But throwing up your sunnies in frustration and dropping them too is hilarious.

Herschelle Jonassen?

We won.

Closer than it should have been in the end. Good to win something at least since our men's team is so ****ing useless.

Be holding out for a "I just watched a women's cricket match" bumper sticker, when the girls do their ticker tape parade.

 

[beez]

Great game of cricket, congrats to the girls

Anyone else been watching the women's final? It's like watching the middle overs of an ODI. The last over just went 1 1 1 1 1 1. Next time someone complains that womens cricket doesn't get enough recognition, just ask them if they've ever watched a game.

Quoting again because, well, awks...

Piss off. The men had a great tournament, as was mentioned many times, a semi-final effort was a good result.

How come you haven't been called up for selection?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Was a good win. Congrats Aussies

Also great to hear Girls Just Want to Have Fun played so heavily

 

[getthefooty]

Good game, should have put the game to bed a few overs prior to that but it made the finish better. Batting displays were pretty darn good imo, some comical fielding at the end though.

I watch women's cricket a fair bit, partially cause of the Perry factor but the close games are still pretty exciting. I like the attitude they seem to take as well, joking and laughing most of the time. Still competitive, just a bit more relaxed.

Politics. I'm not from NSW.

Eddie Smith?

Windies have won the toss and have elected to have a bat in the Final against Sri Lanka.

 

[Ron]

Massive start by SL

 

[Underdog]

How casual was Charles looking at the crease..

 

[block_100]

Well done ladies for winning the world cup!!!

If the men's cricketers are ******ing useless we should not have reached the semi final.Is t20 the only WC the aussies haven't won?? My expectation is for the aussies to return to the number one spot in tests and win back the ashes.

Johnson Charles had a shocker
