With Mooney & Devine in, thought Perth would have taken the surge straight after the break

Surely they take it next over as you'd think they'd want these two in the middle for it

I think Perth are playing this smart actually, there are plenty of 1s and 2s on this ground and Perths batting isnt as deep from 7 onwards.

Mooneys game style actually suits the MCG. She is good at picking the gaps and running hard.

 

[NYRB]

Perth taking Surge overs 12 to 13.

 

[NYRB]

4th dropped catch of the innings.

By jeez is this Pakistan in disguise?

 

[cats_09]

How many dropped catches now?

 

[NYRB]

How many dropped catches now?

4

 

[NYRB]

5th dropped catch. Woweee.

 

[cats_09]

The DJ is having some fun at the moment

- after the 4th drop at the start of the over they opted for Britney's, "Oops I Did It Again"

- and that with that last drop we heard Snoop Dogs "Drop It Like It's Hot"

 

[NYRB]

Hannah Darlington has had a shocker. And thats an understatement.

 

[cats_09]

I know there's not necessarily much the captain can do in regards to the dropped catches, but if you're Litchfield what are you saying to the team at the moment to help keep the chins up and stay in a positive mindset?

Or is this where you lean on someone like Heather Knight and her wealth of experience

 

[NYRB]

Another misfield. Just give up the Thunder.

 

[NYRB]

A consecutive piece of misfield.


LOL

 

[cats_09]

Can Mooney find the next gear and push for her 100

 

[cats_09]

They've put their leg side fielders back on the boundary for Devine and she still managers to find the gap

 

[NYRB]

I think the Thunder are rattled playing at the MCG right now. its the venue, its the intimidation and nerves are showing.

 

[cats_09]

Devine didn't seem too interested in running two there but Mooney was halfway back for the second when she realised she needed to go as Beth wasn't stopping

 

[cats_09]

Darlington again moved late to that potential catch - think she realised she needed to go to her right but she was late to move into the ball

 

[NYRB]

6th dropped catch. The fielder didnt get to that ball well enough. By golly. Darlington is having one of the worst games of cricket I have ever seen from a female. The ball is just following her.

 

[cats_09]

7th drop?

 

[NYRB]

7th dropped catch. Ismail the culprit for the 2nd time. By golly.

 

[cats_09]

If either Mooney or Devine want to go the lap shot option, and they can get a decent amount of bat on it, they'll get 4

 

[cats_09]

Not quite the lap, but just need to clear the infield for a boundary behind the wickets as the Thunder have no fielders on the rope behind the wickets

 

[NYRB]

Bronx cheer.

Holly molly. The world just shook.

 

[cats_09]

Now the DJ turns to Lady Gaga and Edge of Glory, specifically

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you

 

[cats_09]

Come on Mooney - let's get the first 6 of the innings
