Women's Ashes Only Test England v Australia June 22-26 1930hrs @ Trent Bridge

Ashball KO’s the Poms

 

[BGman]

Great win Aussies.

Second best figures all time by Ash.

I said Australia would win by ''about'' 100 runs. I was sort of right. Australia have basically retained the Ashes with this win.

Halfway through the second session yesterday it looked like the match was headed for a different outcome

Our bowling performance in the 4th, and especially from Gardner is what got us the victory - surely the POM performance

 

[CURVE]

She got all five today, absolutely beautiful to watch, well done Ash.

 

[jhong]

Well done to our ladies . Ash mvp for mine .

A pretty amazing game considering the pitch and the ebbs and flows throughout. very happy for the girls

Thought we were draw bound after the 1st innings then the pitch suddenly played all sorts of tricks. Old traditional type pitch. Plenty of run for 3 days then much harder to play on. Don't see so many of those these days.

May have been very different. The onfield decisions went our way removing England's top order in very tight umpire's call reviews.

Gardner was ridiculous - absolutely fantastic bowling, how the hell do we have another world class bowler in the team?!

5 day tests are so much better for the girls, the 4 day tests have sucked for so long.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

How good. We’ll retain the Ashes because of how brilliant Ash is.

England hold the top 2 opposition spots

Just need to win 2 of the next 6 matches to retain the trophy.

 

[Alite]

I thoroughly enjoyed that game.

That was a great Test Match, nearly 1400 runs at over 3.5 runs an over, 40 wickets and importantly a result.

Tests need to be over 5 days, because teams play to win instead of playing not to lose.

Yep. Really good start to the series.

McGrath played a big part this morning tying up the other end building pressure with some unplayables. Good keeping too by Healy standing up.

 

[cats_09]

Only negative from the game was channel 9 decided to not show it on their main station at any stage of the match - sure today’s day 5 viewing was a better option than the shit show that’s the Warnie mini-series

Healy was fantastic - I could have sworn she had more stumpings but my sleep deprived brain is playing tricks on me!

 

[BGman]

Not sure you can go past 200, still Beaumont for mine.

Make that 12 for Gardner. Fairest is to share the spoils between the two. Ecclestone pushed the both of them.

 

[cats_09]

Congrats to Perry becoming the first Australian woman to reach 200 international career wins

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Good toss to win for the Aussies. The King injury didn’t impact on the sides chances in the second innings.

England will be very disappointed in the second innings collapse, even allowing for the tricks the pitch played

 

[deanc]

Good win by the girls - shame the series outcome is almost determined after just one match given Australia simply need 1 more win (from the next 6 matches) to retain the Ashes or 2 to also win the series.

Accordingly, the series fixture is arse about as the one test (worth 4 points) should be played last, i.e. T20's/ODI's/Test match - this way the series could easily be still on the line leading up the test match...
