Women's Ashes, The ODIs. January 12-17

Great delivery Garth

Thankfully the no ball wasn't too costly

 

[Moonwatcher]

So the wicket cost 9 runs but at a slow strike rate so probably a profit for Australia.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now we compare the women to Sam Konstas

 

[outabounds]

Does Schutt ever take the ball away?

 

[Around the Wicket]

So the wicket cost 9 runs but at a slow strike rate so probably a profit for Australia.

its picking up now 32 after 8 isn't a bad platform.

 

[cats_09]

Any argument over that waist high no ball?

Sutherland needs to be careful now as a second one of those will see her out of the bowling attack

 

[troybe]

Weather fine, track fast, great crowd

 

[troybe]

Come on Tammy think about it

 

[cats_09]

That seems a harsh wide call again Garth - definitely sounded like it came off thigh pad

 

[Around the Wicket]

Englands best player in now.. Brunt will likely smack a 100 lol

She's one of the best in the world at the moment - been such a dominant force for a few years now

 

[cats_09]

Brown opening with her customary wide

 

[Around the Wicket]

Jesus she’s lucky there… that looked extremely close

 

[cats_09]

That was closer than I first thought - thought it looked potentially too high and can understand why the umpire said not out

 

[Around the Wicket]

I honestly don’t know how Gardner’s offies get so much success, I reckon I could smack them around

 

[Gough]

Need a wicket here.

Maybe that's the secret - the opposition thinking they could smack them around and playing a little recklessly

 

[cats_09]

Ask and you shall receive

Good catch from Pez

there you go nothing ball

 

[troybe]

Good catch Pez

 

[cats_09]

there you go nothing ball

Completely premeditated shot - it wasn't there to play the shot she did, but Knight seemed set to play a shot through there

If she waited to watch where that ball actually pitched, no doubt she goes through the off side

 

[Around the Wicket]

3/94 after 20.. this is a extremely bat friendly pitch so Australia probably chase anything sub 280 with ease

 

[Around the Wicket]

Who misses out if Lanning didn’t retire extremely young and was still about?

 

[CURVE]

Gardner gets both Knight and NSB in successive overs changes the game.

Now up to 99 ODI wickets.

 

[cats_09]

Rinse & repeat for Sciver-Brunt vs Gardner

No doubt both were premeditated shots - first ball of the over, clearly wanting to put pressure on the bowler but going about it the wrong way
