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

[troybe]

Poms falling way too easily

 

[Around the Wicket]

England are ****ed, they need 270+

 

[cats_09]

Wonder if Pez may be a bit more match ready than a few others considering she went across the ditch for a couple of matches in the Super Smash

 

[Around the Wicket]

Poms falling way too easily

Are Englands girls full time pros now or still semi pros?

 

[cats_09]

Damn

That was close to a third catch for Pez

 

[troybe]

Are Englands girls full time pros now or still semi pros?

18 players are on Central contracts, 8 on 2 year deals and the rest on 1 year

 

[cats_09]

And Gardner nearly had her third

 

[Gough]

Shame we can't take Ash Gardner to Sri Lanka.

 

[cats_09]

I get the importance of checking close calls with the boundary rope, but damn sometimes they seem to spend too long reviewing obvious decisions

 

[Jimthegreat]

That was some catch in the crowd. Brilliantly done, not a drop split.

Crowd have been on fire with their catching this weekend.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

King should be bowling right now, the seamers are all over the shop.

Healy heard you - and she got a wicket on return

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The way King is turning it, she really needs a slip in.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Hopefully they can scrape to 240 odd

 

[cats_09]

That looked an even tighter call than the no ball in the first oval

 

[cats_09]

Talk about a hail Mary review -only possible way Dean was safe would have been an inside edge but that wasn't close

 

[cats_09]

Almost need to put in a slip for Schutt - she's managing to find the edge in this spell

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Pretty disappointing batting performance from England here.

 

[cats_09]

Was the match versus the GG the other day the only warm-up match for the English team on this tour?

If so, that seems poor planning - especially with the match a washout and them not getting to bat

 

[gordo2016]

200 at North Sydney against this batting line up will fall a long short I feel.

They played South Africa in a white ball series a month ago. Simply poor batting. Knight and Sciver-Brunt dismissals very soft.

I get the feeling this Women's Ashes series could be as one sided as some of the Men's Ashes series here have been.

it depends on Englands Top 4, they are pretty good.. the rest of the batting line up not so much

 

[Around the Wicket]

Englands batting averages

Beaumont - 41.21
Bouchier - 45.60
Knight - 35.41
Sciver-Brunt - 46.20

... then

Wyatt-Hodge - 23.39
Jones - 29.40
Capsey - 22.08

Filer with a ripper to get Litchfield
