The Hundred Womens 2023 (Aug 1- Aug 27)

[NYRB]

Another year of The Hundred and it starts tonight. Looking at the squads, it seems alot of the top Aussie players have decided to give it a miss this year compared to last year- and fair enough I say given their busy schedules and all. It seems the more fringe players from Australia have been selected to take part.

Game 1


Teams:

Southern Brave Women (Playing XI): Danielle Wyatt, Smriti Mandhana, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Rhianna Southby(w), Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole(c), Mary Taylor

Trent Rockets Women (Playing XI): Lizelle Lee(w), Bryony Smith, Nat Sciver-Brunt(c), Harmanpreet Kaur, Fran Wilson, Joanne Gardner, Naomi Dattani, Katherine Sciver-Brunt, Alana King, Alexa Stonehouse, Kirstie Gordon

Trent Rockets Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Seems like the Brave are quite top-heavy with their batting

 

[NYRB]

Chloe Tyron didnt play in last years Hundred. Strong international form and not many of the top tier Aussies here means she gets a go.

 

[NYRB]

Kirstie Gordon bowls a pretty good spell for the Trent Rockets

Southern Brave post 157/5 off 100 balls in the 1st game of this seasons Hundred

 

[NYRB]

At one stage the Southern Brave, were looking at around 170 or so . So the Trent Rockets did well to squeeze the Brave on the back end there.

 

[NYRB]

Nasser Hussain saying this is the highest score in the Hundred batting 1st on this ground

 

[NYRB]

The battle to get back to the dinner buffet between Lizelle Lee and Bryony Smith.

Smith has to depart with the run out.

 

[NYRB]

Southern Brave beat Trent Rockets in the 1st game of the season by 28 runs

 

[NYRB]

Looks like the bad weather has hit the UK today and were unlucky to get a result in both games.

 

[NYRB]

4th game

Birmingham Phoenix Women (Playing XI): Sophie Devine, Evelyn Jones(c), Amy Jones(w), Erin Burns, Tess Flintoff, Emily Arlott, Issy Wong, Abigail Freeborn, Charis Pavely, Hannah Baker, Katie Levick

Northern Superchargers Women (Playing XI): Marie Kelly, Jemimah Rodrigues, Phoebe Litchfield, Hollie Armitage(c), Alice Davidson Richards, Bess Heath(w), Georgia Wareham, Leah Dobson, Kate Cross, Linsey Smith, Grace Ballinger

Northern Superchargers Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

beautiful shot from Eve Jones

 

[NYRB]

and Eve Jones goes bang again for another 4.

Phoenix off to a good start off the Opening Set.

 

[NYRB]

Devine goes bang for 4 off Ballinger

 

[NYRB]

Phoenix finish on 110/8 against Superchargers

 

[NYRB]

Thats a nice start for Marie Kelly for 4

 

[NYRB]

this Marie Kelly can bat a bit

 

[NYRB]

The Phoenix seem reliant upon Amy Jones and Devine with their batting.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield with some nice hitting. 30 off 18 balls so far

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield is a class above these players. Is a good replacement for Healy this season.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Wowwww.

 

[NYRB]

Wowwww.

Wareham bowled well last night as well. Dont know the deep history if Headingley for white ball games but it seemed spin was difficult to play on. Having Wareham and Litchfield in the same side, makes the Superchargers a tough proposition for any opponent alone this season.

 

[NYRB]

Also looks like there are double header weekends on the next 3 weeks on the Saturday and Sunday.

Game 5

Welsh Fire Women (Playing XI): Tammy Beaumont(c), Hayley Matthews, Sarah Bryce(w), Georgia Elwiss, Laura Harris, Emily Windsor, Freya Davies, Alex Griffiths, Shabnim Ismail, Alex Hartley, Claire Nicholas

Southern Brave Women have won the toss and have opted to field
