You can be run out on a free hit

You'd have made one by the time the ball was caught.

A great win from Australia and an almighty bottle job from England.

 

[Jars458]

What shit by the umpire and England.

Jones miscounting the balls in the Sutherland/McGrath over - likely due to the 2 free hits

But not running on the last when Bell called her through was a mistake & lapse of concentration

 

[Gammalite]

is this international or backyard cricket ? forgot to run and try and win the match in the end . unbelievable.

 

[ABAB]

WTF was Jones thinking?

Well, she wasn't taking the single off the 5th ball multiple times so why not off the 6th ball lol.

 

[danielnajdek]

Maxwell would've been shaking his head seeing those 2 balls being called no ball.

Even so, there was definitely a run there which would have seen Jones on strike for the start of the penultimate over.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

That second no ball, full toss was an absolute joke

Not watching so presumed it was a risky single. Have seen the commentary and realise was not the case.

England have really screwed the pooch.

It was the last ball of the over - needed to run to keep the strike

 

[cats_09]

After Sutherland was taken out of the attack, Pez came in off the boundary to bowl the last ball if required but it was then thrown to McGrath

Even not getting the ball, it's good to see an experienced player put their hand up if required

ODIs, while you have to protect your tailender, you have to score too. Unless you're hitting them like Maxwell the other night with a boundaries every few balls, you can't 100% protect your tailender. Balls just got swallowed up until they panicked and were done. Maxwell could protect Mir the other night as he was smashing the boundary, so he could afford to reject singles.

McGrath being put through her bowling paces post match

 

[eth-dog]

Is Jess Jonassen injured? I reckon with McGrath, Perry and Sutherland in the top 7 a third spinner would be handy. Maybe Wareham.

 

[Jack Lord]

At one stage, England were 2 wickets down chasing 109 with 237 balls to spare. At the end they needed 12 an over. What a disaster.

Isabelle Westbury has given the English team a decent (and fair enough) whack on Twitter

Similar to the Gatting ball but started on leg stump rather than outside. Absolute ripper.

Out of favour and not sure why

Hasn't been in an Australian squad for a while, with her last match for Australia being back in 2023

Molineaux is the other one I wouldn't mind come in. Don't think Brown has been bowling as well as she has previously and you can always get 20 overs from Garth/Schutt/McGrath/Perry.

 

[cats_09]

This is some stat regarding our record in bilateral ODIs over the past 8 or so years

Marvellous piece of bowling that. A beautiful leg break.

Are you able to post any of her tweets?

Molineux would def be in the squad and likely in the playing 11 if it weren't for injury - she actually was back in hospital today having surgery on the same knee that she did the ACL a couple of years back

It's still been causing her a few problems & she was managed through the recent WBBL series, but they've opted for surgery with the aim of being available for the ODI World Cup in India, this coming August/September

If Sophie could get her body right and stay in the park, I could genuinely see her as a future captain of Aus
