Matthews not having much luck with ball in hand so far

 

[NYRB]

Matthews not having much luck with ball in hand so far

Been expensive . Would be surprised if she gets a 3rd over here.
Wicket looks a belter.

 

[NYRB]

Bit of innovation from Litchfield. Litchfield love the 'hockey' reverse scoop.

 

[NYRB]

The difference between this wicket and the wicket at Drummoyne (midweek) are polar opposites and the Thunder girls know that.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield has clearly pinpointed her zones today.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield is striking at 200% strike rate as the Thunder approach the end of the 7th over.

 

[cats_09]

Litchfield has clearly pinpointed her zones today.

Not sure the chip to the bowler was one of those zones

 

[NYRB]

Wareham gets Litchfield thats abig wicket and Litchfield not happy as she departs.

Thunder 63/3 off 44 balls.

Soft dismissal.

 

[cats_09]

Been expensive . Would be surprised if she gets a 3rd over here.
Wicket looks a belter.

Might see Coyte get an extra over or two instead

 

[NYRB]

Georgia Adams has a big job to do because this is a long tail starting at about 8 the for Thunder.

 

[cats_09]

Damn, could have been 4 if extra cover was back a couple of steps

 

[NYRB]

Wareham almost gets her 2nd in her first over.

A finger tipper to the fielder.

 

[NYRB]

There is an extra spring to the step to both teams today. Body language the indicator.

 

[NYRB]

Adams is no mug with the bat. She has quite a bit of experience at state level in Aus with NSW Breakers in the WNCL.

 

[NYRB]

and maybe Dottin has picked up a side strain. Doesnt quite look 100%

 

[NYRB]

Adams with a streaky boundary. Maybe a taller keeper, would have snagged that.

 

[NYRB]

Thunder will take it, in a qualifying final like this....they wont care how they come.

 

[cats_09]

and maybe Dottin has picked up a side strain. Doesnt quite look 100%

Earlier in the match when she slid to stop the boundary and went over the rope, when she got up she was looking a little sore & seemed to be stretching her side

Not sure if it's necessarily a side strain is just a bit of discomfort from earlier and going over the rope

 

[cats_09]

Another streaky 4, this time for Wilson

 

[NYRB]

The Thunder girls can't pick Wareham on this road.

 

[NYRB]

I see the 10am starts are popular with Melbournians.......Looks like a crowd of possibly 750 there?

 

[cats_09]

I'd be tempted to bowl Wareham 4 straight here - they aren't picking her, and she may not get the wicket/s, but they're having to take risks to score otherwise they're going to get bogged down

 

[NYRB]

One of the Renegades players I think Wareham let out the 'F Bomb ___ Off' on the Kayo coverage after that went for 4.
