Phoebe batting well

 

[RW]

This Allan Border Field pitch looks like it should be a belter, but it doesn't seem to be playing that way? 139 suddenly looks defendable here

 

[CURVE]

I found this little oddity interesting, it's not something you see often. And no, I'm not talking about how crap the Melbourne teams are, that's a given.




For those who can't see the little oddity, check the PT's column.

Great start from the Strikers, surely get up from here.

Kerr still there the RR isn’t awful

 

[Teen Wolf]

Megan Schutt took 3/11 against the Scorchers on 31 December 2015. The only time she's been named Player of the Match in the WBBL.

And it seems destined to stay that way, with her haul of 4/11 against the Heat tonight overshadowed by Darcie Brown's 4/16!

[NYRB]

2nd v 4th on the standing. Big game today

 

[NYRB]

Wellington with a wicket in her 1st ball against Perth

 

[Aussie_boy]

Strikers should win from here, some poor Scorchers batting

 

[NYRB]

Adelaide all over Perth at the moment.

Perth 70/5 after 14.0 overs

 

[Aussie_boy]

Scorchers seem way too reliant on their openers, everyone else looks ordinary.

 

[CURVE]

Strikers have an brilliant bowling line up, McGrath doesn't have to bowl herself.

I'm not as confident about their batting line up.

 

[NYRB]

Games in Ballarat likely to be rain affected today

 

[CURVE]

12 over game today. Sixers won the toss and elected to bowl.

 

[CURVE]

Cheatle gets Villani for 2.

 

[CURVE]

heavy rain starting in Ballarat. Hobart 1/26 after 3.

 

[NYRB]

nice little cameo from Heather Graham

 

[NYRB]

not 3rd time lucky for Heather Graham

 

[CURVE]

that third delivery was well bowled by Gardner, just held it back a touch and Graham couldn't get under it enough to clear the ropes.

 

[CURVE]

Gardner on a hattrick

 

[CURVE]

no hattrick for Gardner, but she bowled really well today, except for those consecutive deliveries that Graham hit for six, and finished with her best WBBL figures of 4/23.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Hurricanes should be a tad disappointed there, probably left 10-15 out there. Still about par though I feel.

 

[CURVE]

Hurricanes 8/95 after their 12 overs, probably a little under par as the Sixers pulled them back taking 4/11 off the last 2.1 overs.

 

[CURVE]

Gardner in early (at 3) and not looking comfortable. Don't understand how she looks so terrible in the WBBL but is so destructive at international level.
